What’s new in version 0.1?
This is a Chrome extension for people who have slow network connection and/or limited network data usage and want to surf the web as fast and less data usage as possible. The way to achieve this is to let the browser loads only necessary stuffs first and explicitly loads some heavy stuffs on demand later. This extension is intended to do that by trying to block image/video loading and let users click on a placeholder (a square placed instead of an image) to load the image and replace that placeholder.
Caveats
* Not every image can be clicked to load on demand because some images are links. When you click it, it navigates to wherever the link points to. And some images are background images. It's quite hard to interact with those.
* Videos are blocked but could not be clicked to load.
This extension is free and open sourced.

Reviews of textfirst:
There should be a key combo to load all images. There should also be a blacklist/whitelist to disable the plugin from running on specific sites.
Really useful. Thank you.
Excellent! Best image blocking app. I tried five of them before this one and none of them cut it so this one is probably the best. Also you can get around the "can't load images that are links without following said links" problem by right clicking them and selecting "open image in new tab" so it's not a issue for me. It would be even better if it was smart enough to check if an image is already cached from a previous visit and gave the option to display those.(but only those) *hint* *hint*
