Blocking bad images?

Question

I know this website that has really great software downloads, but it contains pictures of naked women in the ad section. How can I block these pictures to show something like BLOCKED or something? Is there something I can download to do this?

Answer 1

Use a proxy filter

You can selectively block content by using a web filter program. Freely available examples include Privoxy, SafeSquid and DansGuardian. Once you have installed such a program, you can exert fine-grained control over what content is received by your web browser.

======================================...

Configure your browser:

How to block images site-wide

Firefox 2.0

either: right-click the example image to the right and select "Block Images from upload.wikimedia.org"

or: select Edit/Preferences and in the Content tab click on "Exceptions" next to "Load images automatically". In the popup window, type "wikimedia.org" and click "Block".

Opera 9.0

Right-click on the page, select "Block content...", and click on the image(s). If you only want to (un)block a particular image, and not all images from the same source, hold the shift key while (un)blocking.

Click "Done"

How to set up your browser to not see images at all

Firefox 2.0

Without add-on

On Windows, select the "Tools" menu, on Mac OSX, select the "Firefox" menu, or on Linux select the "Edit" menu.

Select "Options" on Windows, or "Preferences" on Mac OSX and Linux

Click the "Content" tab.

Uncheck the checkbox "Load images automatically."

With add-on

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox... allows you to add a button to the Firefox tool bar that toggles images on and off.[1]

Other Mozilla-based browsers

The Firefox 2.0 instructions may not work on all browsers in the Mozilla family (such as the GNOME web browser Epiphany). In that case, enter about:config in the location box, and change permissions.default.image to 2 to disable image downloads. To restore the default behavior, change it back to 1.

Opera

View->Images->No Images

Internet Explorer 7

Click the "Tools" button.

Select "Internet Options".

Click the "Advanced" tab.

Scroll down to "Multimedia" and uncheck "Show pictures".

Safari 3

On Mac OSX, select the "Edit" menu.

Click "Preferences".

Click on the "Appearance" button.

Uncheck "Display images when the page opens."

Answer 2

Another way i came to know is:

usually these bad images take a-bit more time to load than other images. so as soon u load the page, and u see other info your are looking for, press ESC key before the bad images loads. This will stop the page from loading.
