Imageless vs Still

Imageless is a simple Safari Extension that allows you to easily block images & video, reducing data usage and speeding up browsing. Features: * Blocks images and videos at the network level * Block globally or on a site-specific level * Saves bandwidth and improves page load speed * Works independently - block images, videos, or both * Toggle on/off anytime from Safari's extension menu * Option to lock media blocking settings behind Face ID/Touch ID or using a custom PIN. (Note that the extension itself can still be disabled from within Safari unless you also enable the 'Limit Adult Websites' option within Screen Time on your device.) * No data is ever collected or sent anywhere by the extension How to enable: * Go to Settings → (Apps) → Safari → Extensions * Find "Imageless Extension" in the list and toggle it ON * In Safari, tap the Extensions button (puzzle piece icon) in the address bar to choose what to block To prevent someone from disabling the extension: Open Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → App Store, Media, Web, & Games → Web Content, then choose Limit Adult Websites. That setting also restricts changes to Safari extensions Image Blocker operates entirely locally on your device. The extension: * Processes web content locally in your browser * Applies image blocking rules without sending data externally * Stores preferences locally on your device only * Does not communicate with external servers

Still blocks animated images and motion effects in Safari, giving you a calm, static browsing experience. What it blocks: • Animated GIFs — replaced with a static placeholder. Includes GIFs served via image-proxy URLs and cross-origin CDNs that often slip past simpler blockers • Animated WebP and APNG — detected by inspecting file headers; static images display normally • Autoplaying video — stays paused until you tap play, including players that keep trying to restart themselves • Animated canvases — background shaders, particle fields and animated graphics hold still on a single frame, while static charts and canvases are left alone • Scripted motion — text and images that zoom, slide or fade into place as a page loads, and scroll-driven effects on modern marketing sites, simply appear in their final position • CSS animations and transitions — carousel crossfades, opacity pulses, sliding banners, background animations, including those inside web components • SVG animations and animated charts • Smooth-scrolling carousels that move on a timer What it doesn't break: • Static images display normally • Page layout and functionality are preserved; videos and canvases you tap or click on work normally • Per-site allowlist lets you enable animations on sites you trust • Global on/off toggle in the extension popup Built for people with vestibular sensitivities, migraine triggers, or anyone who just wants the web to hold still. Still runs entirely on-device. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored.
