How to Block Unwanted Pictures
Headlines, Site Updates, Technical April 27th, 2008
As we know by the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar sahab (db), that the safe guarding of eyes is very necessary in every process of our daily life.
It is equally important for persons using internet and it is a major issue as most of the websites have Ads containing unwanted pictures. By following this process, we can make our web browser safe from such content.

Step 1: ImgLikeOpera allows load only the images that you want in Firefox browser.
NOTE: There is also a functionality to whitelist certain domains, then that it won’t block. Recommended behavior is to block all kind of images and then add proper websites in whitelist.
Tools -> Addons -> ImgLikeOpera -> Options -> Filters
Features:
- placeholders for blocked images
- (re)load image from context menu or Ctrl+rightMouseClick;
- forced expiration time (5 minutes - 3 months);
- policies for tabs;
- filters.
|
You can set one of policies for each tab:
- don’t load images;
- load cached images only;
- load images for the originating Web site only;
- load all images.
Step 2: Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.

Assalam o Alykum,
If you are installing Opera browser on a Macintosh computer, there are no images, since there is no setup, you just copy the program and it is installed. Perhaps you could add this to you wiki-page, since this is the best option for Mac users.

[...] News How to Block Unwanted Pictures [...]
Assalam-o-Alikum
Well there are various ways to block unwanted pictures as stated by other users also but one more simpler and easier way is,
1)If you have, then Firefox has some good features too. One of them is picture blocking. To block the picture or advertisement, right click on the picture and select Block images from xxx.com( xxx is domain name e.g, google.com). Remember one thing if that website has other images from that domain then those images are also blocked.
2) In-case of Internet explorer or any other browsers, always there is an other way.
Another way to do this is by using K9 software. It is free and license for home use only. Check them out they are excellent, Visit the link for more information.

Visit this website and check out the software they have made for home use protection.
Thanks.

Just a few days back when I told a friend that I dont watch TV anymore and do not look at pictures, he said that how do i avoid them when i’m using internet, and i really wished i knew how to block these pictures… Alhamdulillah, I’ve found the way from this blog.
If anyone can tell, how to block the ads running on MSN Messenger? That is the last thing i cant get rid of as yet.
AOA!
To block the ads in the buddy list window of MSN Live Messenger go to the Control Panel and double-click on Internet Options. Select the Security tab and click on Restricted sites. Now click on the Sites button below and add rad.msn.com to the zone. Click on Close and the ads should disappear.
You can find more solutions by searching on google with “ad block msn”
http://www.google.com.pk/search?q=ad+block+msn&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
JazakAllah once again
It worked and now i have also blocked the pictures on my msn.
Just had a suggestion. It would be great if there could some hotmail or gmail address one could add to his list to get live help from Mufti hazraats/or develop an Islahi ta’aluq.
I had heard from a friend about someone in UAE doing that- i.e. provide online live access to Mufti Hazrat’s for any help online regarding different problems. I know of many friends who would want to use such facility as there is generally a certain hesitation in new people especially to talk to someone face to face.
AOA!
the best
Asalam-o-aliakum, to all
I personally recommend Portable OPERA browser 9.6 version, its fast reliable, block Pictures, Ad, Flash, you can download it from:
http://opera-usb.com/download/opera963en.zip
Just unzip on the your computer and run opera.exe from extrated folder, as it is portable version you don’t need to install it, you can even carry this extracted folder in your USB and can also run from USB
I like it the most, May Allah give me and us the toofeeq to safe guard our eye and hearts
Ameen!

Dear, Basim sahab

Assalam O Alikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuhu:
I am having a trouble, When we turn off images in explorer, many people find a problem. That is, browser also reluctant to show even the buttons necessary of many websites. For example, try to open the very page on which we are sending our comments. You will find your are even unable to see the SPAM WORD.
Please can any body suggest a better way to curb this menace of evil glancing and block pictures???
Walikum Usalam wwb.
As per our knowledge, best solution so far is to use firefox and use it’s plugin ‘imglikeopera’
In this plugin, we can have a white list filter so that miage get all opened for that site.
Also, there is a quick tweak, if you want to load image in that, press CTRL + mouse right click, and it’ll load that image.
@Others: Please share if any one else got a better solution
Assalam O Alikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuhu:
MashAllah, JazakAllah, Excellent, Wonderful.
I have no words to thank you for this marvelous suggestion.
Now, Inshallah I will be able to save my eyes from nasty
unwanted pictures.
I will also request you to please tell me if you find
any such type of add-on for google browser “Google Chrome”. As it is becoming more and more popular now a days.
JAZAK ALLAH,,,,ALLAH HUM SUB KO IS TRAH K SAMRAT HASIL KARNE OR UN PE QAIM RENE KI TOFEEQ ATTA FARMAI AMEEN

[...] How to Block Unwanted Pictures [...]
Asalamualaikum,
Jazakallah for the guidelines. I use Opera and find it very easy to shut out images. One just has to click on the show/cache/no images icon on the tool bar and the images disappear.Or on the view icon in the tool bar one has to click on images and then select the no images option.
Wasalaam
as salaamu alaikum W R W B
I am now using Opera version 10.10 it no longer contains any human images while running the setup
wassalaam
Assalaamu ‘alaykum,
Indeed use Opera: you can disable images permanently, OR only use cached one (the one you trust) OR disable it momentary by using one of the button you cann add from here: http://homepage.hispeed.ch/ttt-o/button/h-bu-browserview-adv.html
As salam-o-alikum.
Saw the option of blocking unwanted pictures and videos on this website, felt very pleasure to see it, followed the steps, and now, I am on safe side regarding sins through eyes (bad-nazri) in using internet and websites. Thanks very much to Hazrat and every person who participated at any level to save internet users from this. May ALLAH bless all of you with great ajar, and give health to Hazrat-e-Wala. A suggestion is, try to spread it, so that maximum people can get its benefits. Jazak-Allah.
Assalam o Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
Well done, May Allah SWT Accept all the activities.
May Allah SWT decide to give Long Life with Perfect health to Hazrat e Wala(Damat Barakatuhum)which has no anymore weakness.
Assalam o Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
Masha Allah
Mashallah
Assalamu Alykum Wa Rahmatullah wa barakathu!!
Today i upgraded my Firefox to the newest version available, and found out that the ImgLikeOprea isn’t compatible with the new Firefox vers.! CHOK!
Thanks to Allah Subhan-hu-wa-tala, that showed the right path, I found Alhamdullillah a solution better then the ImgLikeOpera. Here is the link.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=toggle+on+statusbar&cat=1%2C12&advancedsearch=1&as=1&appid=1&lver=3.6&atype=0&pp=20&pid=5&sort=&lup=
Or you can do it manually by clicking on TOOLS ->ADDON, then write in the search bar TOGGLE ON STATUSBAR
And again may Allah the most high reward you and those who is helping your and those who is spreading this message protecting our brothers from the evil.
And please remember me in your prays!!
ImgLikeOpera is not working with firefox 3.6. Any suggestions
