Disabling image loading used to be a standard setting on browsers in the dial-up internet days. I don't recall when that disappeared.

OP's extension simply uses the `chrome.contentSettings.images` API, which you've always been able to set manually in the standard browser settings. It never disappeared (chrome://settings/content/images).
But for LinkedIn and other sites, I still have to turn it on sometimes. But only for a few minutes. So I have the auto disable feature.
I think you're looking for chrome://settings/content/images
This is exactly what this extension does
Loved the dedicated button for it in good ol' Opera.
In between the bandwidth getting better and the content getting shittier :) Which is what, 2008-2016?
