That would be great, except (as previously mentioned): 1. We have to figure out how to hide images which have already loaded (as we do with popups). 2. (far more important, mpt already mentioned this) we have to figure out how to load images without refreshing the page (Mozilla doesn't provide an API to do this). Failing to solve these problems would detract greatly from Epiphany's UI consistency, and would ultimately make Epiphany a *worse* browser, IMO (the user would not know which of Epiphany's options are applied instantly). I, for one, as a very-part-time Epiphany developer, would rather focus my efforts on something I might actually use; I would never use such a checkbox, so it would be a pain in the neck for me to develop. I'll bet I'm not the only one who feels this way. (However, if anybody finds elegant solutions to the above, please let me know -- they would be perfect for adblock.) -- Adam Hooper <adamh densi com>
