by jrolson, 6 years agoGreat app! Saves me alot of data on my limited plan. Also has an option to disable the app on your important sites.
Would like an option to hide the blocked history log though since it takes up alot of space...

- Rated 5 out of 5by UPukaJRm, 2 years agoVery nice! I would like the ability to have a single button to toggle images or video or fonts etc on or off. But two clicks to toggle is ok. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Canadian, 5 years agoExcellent media blocker. Tried other various media blockers and video auto-play blockers, however this one seems to work the best as well as keeping the web page layout still functional and readable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14707454, 6 years agoI'm glad I found this. This is a very good extension and does exactly what it says. For me, it is the only one that properly blocks videos. Auto-playing videos were slowly driving me insane; no more.
I have a few suggestions:
1. Let's say I want to watch a video on a page but don't want to give it permanent permission. I have to enable videos, reload the page, watch the video and then disable videos again.
If possible, it would be nice to have an option to temporarily allow a blocked video to play without having to go through the above; a click-to-play option, perhaps.
2. A list showing the already whitelisted domains would be nice. Also, the option to type in and add addresses directly into the list.
EDIT: 3. I just noticed something. There is no option to directly whitelist embedded videos in a page. I have to find the blocked video's domain from the "Blocked so far" list, open it in another tab and whitelist it there, which mostly doesn't work because most addresses redirect. A button or a checkbox for whitelisting, next to each entry in the blocked list would be helpful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14323663, 6 years agoVery easy to use. Click items to block or allow. Green items are allowed, red items are blocked. I use this to block all types of video including HTML5, Jwplayer, Flash, autoplay videos and social media widgets. This will save a lot of data. I will keep this add-on!
