You can set a limit in uBO settings to prevent loading of files/elements above x KB in size. You will just see a red dotted blank space for elements comically large, and they will load if you click them, if needed.
Estimating the general acceptable size for images or GIFs helps here. Images usually cap under 600-700 KB, while GIFs can go over 1-2 MB. Experiment with the number, or set it at 1200 KB maybe.
I have mine at 50kb, and most things load, but I do get some images that don’t. Just play with it and increase it until the frequency you need to tap pictures to render them doesn’t piss you off anymore.
Ad blockers don’t protect you against dumbass frontend devs who serve 5mb png files to be stuffed into 600x400 boxes.
No but the good blockers give you the power to disable elements on a case by case basis.
Removing the background image for fandom wiki articles makes them load 3x faster.
I especially hated wallpaper website that load full size pictures on previews grids

Shit, I might use that on a desktop with broadband.
Thanks kind stranger, I didn’t realize this was configurable.
Is 50kb enough or should I go higher.
Also. Thanks!
