The image blocking should hava a filters section allowing you to block or allow
images which have specific parameter ie:

block | size | more than | 100

that would block images that were more than 100kb in size (good for slow modems)
you could also set up dimentions:

block | dimentions | equal to | 130 | 60

that would help get rid of banner ads (130x60 pixels)
you could also do filename & altername text

Reproducible: Always

Except most servers don't send content-length headers so you have no idea how
big the image will be...

This request could easily be handled by an extension, in any case, once we get
the content policy stuff into shape.

> block | dimentions | equal to | 130 | 60

You can already do that with CSS, no?  Again, an extension could generate the
relevant userContent.css entries for you...

if you do that with css:

img[width=130] {display: none;}

how would you set it only if the height was 60? and what is the content policy
stuff?
