Hi, I see. besides adds, there are many "decoration" images that can be blocked without affecting anyone. I have blocked useless images on the free web email I have access to. Other images are necessary for navigation, mostly because webmasters do not use ALT text, so you cannot set images off from your browser. In this area junkbuster or webwasher can help (both freeware) if you add the useless images URLs to the block list (you can use the same in both, although I am not sure if webwasher supports the * and other Junkbuster signs) because neither you see nor load the image. Regarding the ammount of people that use image blocking...webwasher alone (and there are more similar programs) has more than 2 million users (according to their site).
