beautiful colors sparkles happy joy
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I have this as one of my favorites on rotation, and every time it comes up it makes me smile. The colors are just so cheerful, as are the sparkles. It puts a big stupid grin on my face. The "happy joy" in the title is funny, but also remarkably apt. Thanks for making it!
Hide Images
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I like this one a lot. It's nice and simple, doesn't interact weirdly with any of my other add-ons (unlike a similar but far more complex image hider I replaced with this one a while back), and I really did appreciate the speed with which it got rid of those images. Zap! Zzzzzaaap!!! INSTANT zap! Most gratifying, that.
One thing I think you should seriously consider, though, is adding a reload function to the button and making it more of a toggle, so that when you click it a second time, it refreshes the page (thus restoring the images) for you. Of course I realize that this is no faster or easier than just clicking the reload button to refresh the page would be, but there's something so fundamentally intuitive about treating this sort of button as a two-way toggle switch that it is surprisingly off-putting when it turns out not, in fact, to work that way. Like fred below me said, "what about getting them *back?*" Even knowing full well that a refresh would restore the images, I still had a strange moment of panic the first time I clicked the button a second time to find that it had no effect, and even now that I understand that it is not meant to be a toggle, I *still* often find myself clicking the thing a second time when I want to reload the page...and always feeling somewhat unsettled when I am reminded - yet again! - that That Is Not The Way This One Works.
Rational? No, not very, but people very seldom are, you know, and I think that the one-way nature of the button could really hurt this add-on's popularity. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it caused some people to think that it was actually *broken,* rather than just not designed to work that way.
