Load Images Settings and Preferences
-
Hello,
Right now, if we disable “load images” it only works for the current tab and it reverts to “always load images” when we close that page and re-open it or open a new page.
So:
- Have a browser default setting that lets us specify how we want images to be loaded.
- Have a key shortcut for that “setting/load preference” that can be toggled.
- Have that setting remember (or not) its last state.
- For example: for start that setting is “always load” in the settings page. If I press a shortcut to switch to “no images”, then next time I open Vivaldi or a new tab , it should remember that its now on “no images”
- State of loading images that could be implemented:
- always website(get the website image regardless of date or cache status)
- website priority(get the website image if more recent that the cache, otherwise get the cache)
- cache priority (get the cache image, if not present get the website)
- always cache (only get cache image , if no image in cache then display none)
- no image (no image at all)
Thanks.

@fofo Moved to Settings category. The default shortcut to toggle images is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I. You can set your own in Settings, Keyboard, Tab, but as you say, it only works for the current tab.

Also in addition to OP's suggestions:
- regexp or wildcard filter for blocked/allowed images. Something like "*/favicon.png" - allowed, "http*://www.ad.com/adbanner/*" - disallowed, etc. Similar to ImgLikeOpera extension for old FF.

We already have
chrome://settings/content/images
which has Allow and Block images.It makes sense to me to migrate the current functionality over there - Adding an option for Cached Only images.

In very very simple terms.
Open a copy of Opera 12 and look at how that behaves.
That please. -
I could really use this feature on desktop Vivaldi. And on mobile (Android and iOS), this feature is also very important! Firefox on Android has a feature where images are downloaded only on Wi-Fi; this feature could implement that, but take it to another level of customization with handling whether cached images are still displayed.
