Hello all,

I would like to disallow/block images by default for all sites. I have found this can be done on [this] thread which outlines that: "You can disable images on the about:config page :

Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter (accept the risk, if asked) Type in the search bar : permissions.default.image and set its value to 2"

This works very well and I am happy with this, however, in addition to this I would then like to be able to whitelist some websites that I want to allow images to be loaded on (i.e. wikipedia).

I have found in [this] thread the 'block images domain checkbox' was discontinued in Firefox 72, but can be re-enabled with: "extensions.contentblocker.enabled = true" also in "about:config", however, I am unsure if I can use this to whitelist sites.

TL;DR: I want to block all images on websites by default, but I want to be able to whitelist some that trust; how can I do this?

Thank you in advance. :)
