How to Block Images for a Website

TECH
Almost all browsers enable you to universally block images, so you're presented with quick-loading, text-only Web pages. However, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome take this a step further by enabling site-specific image blocking. This feature loads images on all websites except for the websites you specifically choose to block. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer hasn't followed suit, so you need to block all images or none at all for this Microsoft browser.
