Reviews & Comments of StockBlocker chrome extension

Not working!

Does nothing

Not working

Does not work

It does literally nothing (except track your activity). I think because google decided that it was too risky to show us anything other than stock images but still wanted to know what images people are looking at.

It doesn't do a thing. I see exactly the same results before and after installing it.

Doesn't work at all. Still getting Shutterstock, Getty Images, Alamy, 123rf, iStockPhoto, etc. in search results. Not worth the time it took to install and uninstall. Such a good idea, if only it worked!

Not longer maintained I guess

Doesn't work. Just another gimmick. The Albany Stock photos along with the Shutterstock and Getty images r alive and well even with this worthless attachment. Albany, Shutterstock and Getty images are the three major contributors of unwanted stock photos. If the extension can't even block one it isn't worth the effort.

Now I can only see Stock footage, I think it should be the opposite?

Doesn't block stock photos.

I gave it two stars, because one star says I hate it, but I don't hate anything. However it is entirely useless. I hope you see this before trying it. It does not work at all. There's no button showing it at the top, like you see in some screenshots online. There are multiple reviews that are pretty old saying it's not working and the developer has stopped replying to them. As well, before writing this review, I wrote to the developer directly in hopes of getting a response before writing a negative review. After a couple of weeks the developer hast not wrote to me in reply to my concern, nor is he answering most of the people who wrote to him directly. For all intents and purposes, this developer is not even working on his extension or supporting any users anymore, and I think it should just be removed from the Chrome Store. Leaving it up there is not just useless, it's actually causing grief and upsetting people because they're all trying it and it's not working, and they're trying to trouble shoot and ask for help. So the developer is actually causing people problems, not just remaining neutral. I wish I could give it zero stars.

Doesnt work

No longer works, not updated for years now.

doesn't work

Doesn't do anything at all—searches appear exactly the same as they did before adding extension. Perhaps abandoned by developer but still up on the chrome store?

Useless. No longer blocks any of the parasitic stock images web blights.

This doesn't work at all.

Worked great for a while now it doesn't even work at all. My image searches are still littered with stock sites.

it used to work, not it doesn't, 3 stars for being awesome while it lasted

I'm only giving it 3 stars because it no longer works (the stockblocker button is not visible). It gets 3 stars though because it used to be awesome and I hope the developer fixes it to make it work again :)

I used it for year, but now it doesn't work. Please fix if you can some time.

I loved it, but recently it just stopped working inexplicably.

Didn't work at all. I'm still seeing Shutterstock, Depositphotos, etc. in my results. Uninstalling.

This Extension is great. I was wondering if i could have your permission to pull it apart to make an extension that blocks pinterest results

“The best place to hide a body is page two of Google” – unless you are looking for free stock images. Stockblocker got me through this discomforting experience, by removing all useless junk, and only showing what really matters.

Compared search results between Chrome with extension and Safari, and there didn't appear to be a difference.

Sometimes stock images are an absolute plague when searching for the right picture - especially the ones from those parasites, Getty Images. This extension sends them to oblivion where they belong. Highly recommended!

It would work better if it just ran in the background rather than having a button, extra buttons always bug me. If you don't want to use the extension and save a tiny bit of ram, this extension simply adds: -stock -site:123rf.* -site:gettyimages.* -site:fotolia.* -site:dreamstime.* -site:photospin.* -site:fotolibra.* -site:visualphotos.* -site:depositphotos.* -site:profimedia.* -site:clipartof.* -site:colourbox.* -site:pixmac.* -site:inmagine.* -site:cutcaster.* -site:oneinhundred.* -site:clipartoday.* -site:yaymicro.* -site:graphicleftovers.* -site:mostphotos.* -site:featurepics.* -site:masterfile.* -site:pixoto.* -site:photaki.* -site:hdimagelib.* -site:fotosearch.* -site:warmpicture.* -site:mediafocus.* to the end of your search but hides it.

5 stars for options version.

Useful up to a point. All it does is add a bunch of parameters to the search, to exclude some (not all) of the stock image sites. Unfortunately it doesn't work with advanced searches, which I use all the time. For example, if I've told advanced search to only look for panoramic ratio images, clicking on StockBlocker removes that filter. Annoying.

love it!

Works as advertised. If it provided the ability to edit the blocked sites list it would deserve 5 stars!

I was looking for something like this for awhile. Good effort!

Sangat berguna!

Thank you for making this extension. It is very helpful!

It has been a while since I was searching for something like that, thank you!

Super helpful!
