Do you mean you browse the internet in general with images disabled? If so, why?
Saves a ton of bandwidth! And seems to lower memory use slightly.
Indeed it saves bandwidth -- which is particularly important for those with a limited connection. I like it as well because so many images actually downgrade the UX anyway.
It’s a better carbon footprint to nix images but then we get punished for it by anti-bot websites. Bots also neglect to fetch images so I get hit with false positives for robots more frequently.
(Not sure if mentions work on Lemmy.. mentioning @aibler@lemmy.world for good measure)
Fascinating. I never heard or thought about this. I think I quite like this idea.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful mention, I can confirm that it did work, showed up in my inbox.
