What made you think of this?

@aaronoleary As an Art Director who constantly needs images from Google Images for my mockups, I was tired of seeing all these images with watermarks, so I basically created it for myself at first, but it looks like quite a lot of people find it useful. There are around 5000 Chrome users who use it on a weekly basis. And because I recently switched back to Firefox, I'm more than happy to make it available for all Firefox users!

Nice plugin! I guess I can now switch to firefox again. ☺️
Dries De Schepper
@flxg Thanks! I switched back :-)

Looks really useful! How does it determine which photos are stock photos? Checks for watermarks?
Dries De Schepper
@zelena Thank you! There is a blacklist which I regularly update. It does not check for the watermarks. So photos with a watermark placed on non-stock photo websites will unfortunately still show up. :-)

Interesting! I’ll have to try it out! On a related note, what made you switch back to Firefox?
Dries De Schepper
@alexsmacd Thanks! My distrust in Google ;-)

On firefox esr the layout locks strange. Blocking sites like unsplash.com, where you can get royal free images, doesn't help.

Pros:

Nice idea

Cons:

Does not work in firefox esr, it also blocks unsplash

Hi @f_xmt I will have a look at Firefox ESR. StockBlocker does not block websites such as Unsplash. If you'd like I could show you the list of blocked websites.
