Screenshots
Before and after example showing how, instead of a giant useless stock photo, you get useful article contents right away without having to scroll down.Close-up showing a placeholder where a hero image used to be, and the tool tip seen on mouse over.  This explains the click-to-restore feature.
About this extension
Hero images are the scourge of modern web design, bloating pages and frustrating users with their gratuitous size and slow loading times.

Things are only getting worse these days when stock photos weren't bad enough, and now we get AI generated slop instead.

Fight back with this plugin that automatically hunts down and destroys the most obtrusive image upon page load, getting you to the real content much quicker.

Notable features
- Choose a default behavior for all sites
- Override the behavior either way on a per-site basis
- Show a placeholder where the hero once was, which can be clicked to restore the image if needed.
- Coming Soon(TM) -- Adjust the sensitivity to be more lenient or more aggressive in the hunt.

Please note that this is currently at Beta quality level. It has not undergone extensive testing nor polishing. You will likely encounter some bugs and other quirks.
