Turning Off Images While Browsing

When browsing the Net, you have probably noticed that the text portion of Web pages typically loads relatively quickly when compared to the images on a page. The main reason for this is that the image files that are downloaded to your computer are often times larger and more numerous than the text files. They require more time to be transferred to your computer before you are able to view them in a Web page.

While Web page images are usually desired and in some cases are necessary to use the page, they can become a headache for users who are only interested in what a page says and not how it looks. If you are reading news, doing online research, or visiting other sites primarily for reading material, especially when using a dial-up connection, you may find that you are spending time waiting for images to load that you do not need to see. Turning off images in your browser can make Web pages load faster and help you get more out of your time spent online.

Listed below are the steps to turn off images in the most popular Web browsers. In each case, turning off images is as simple as removing a check mark and turning images back on is accomplished by re-adding the same check mark.

  • Internet Explorer 6: Go to Tools and then Internet Options. Select the Advanced tab, scroll down and remove the check next to Show Pictures.
  • Safari: Go to Preferences in the Safari menu, select Appearance and remove the check next to Display images when the page opens.
  • FireFox for Windows: Go to Tools and then Options. Select Web Features and remove the check next to Load Images.
  • FireFox for Macintosh: Go to Preferences in the FireFox menu, select Web Features and remove the check next to Load Images.

Finally, removing images while browsing can speed up your online browsing, but some Web pages rely on images to display properly. If you decide to try browsing without images, make sure you know how to turn them back on so you don’t get stuck not being able to view image dependent pages.
