A refactoring of the HideImages plugin for Chrome. Plus, it no longer hides italics!
To use this modified plugin, just replace Hide Image's hide.js file with mine. You can find the plugin's hide.js file in these locations:
In OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/npkjfnpmjehafgklcnnphlegdbbafafg/1.4.1_0/hide.js
In Windows: C:\Documents and Settings*UserName*\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\npkjfnpmjehafgklcnnphlegdbbafafg\1.4.1_0\hide.js
That's it!
