Possible to block "data:" images?

Post by k2091732 »

Lately some images are displayed using the data: scheme rather than http:. Can these be blocked? When you right-click on them you don't have the usual "Adblock Plus: Block Image..." option at the bottom.

you can block it like any other element / object (get it in the blockable items list)
