We can now implement a hide images feature that blocks network loads of images.

I just hooked this up to try it out, looks great so far. 
Quick code snippet for later use in ContentBlockerHellper.swift:

        let json = "[{'trigger':{'url-filter':'.*','resource-type':['image']},'action':{'type':'block'}}]".replacingOccurrences(of: "'", with:"\"")
        self.ruleStore.compileContentRuleList(forIdentifier: "images", encodedContentRuleList: json) {
            rule, error in
            self.addToTab(contentRuleList: rule, error: error)
        }
