Extension Usage Instructions

                        Hides images on a website, shows images temporarily on hover.
Shows images again by clicking the extension icon.

Hide/Show preference works on a per-domain basis, meaning you can have one website hide images and another show them.

Preference is saved automatically using HTML5 LocalStorage.

Updated 12/07/2015 -- Now you can hide background images by toggling a setting (right click on the extension icon to find the setting). Note that this applies to all websites when toggled and may cause unwanted effects (ex: may hide button icons).

Updated again to fix default hide status.
