Is there a way to block images on certain websites on phone?

Some websites have large images and I use the websites regularly to share the info on them with other parents. 
When laptops were used more often, I remember installing something on Chrome so I could block certain images from loading. 

Nowadays we tend to use phones more. Is there an app or something I can use which can block certain images so they don't ever load, from certain websites?  

Cup of Tea? :coffee:

    There are various adblock apps you can download that filter adds globally on your device but personally I find they make your phone sluggish, not to mention the privacy issues due to fact that you basically give the app a list of every website you visit since all your traffic runs through their servers. 

    I personally find the easiest way is to just add an adblock extension to whatever browser you use on your PC/phone. I use uBlock Origin for Firefox/Chrome and it does the job.

    You can get uBlock Origin extension for a phone browser? ;)

    That must be a fairly recent change? Albeit is a couple of years since I tried Firefox on my phone, I do have it on my Fire TV stick but I've not noticed any capability to add extensions.

    I've installed Kiwi browser and yes - you can indeed install extensions. (I installed uBlock Origin and applied my MSE filters). :)
