I also hope it's not the one I pass too,
You have a shtikel Palti. I thought about that angle, but I passed this test BH and Hashem decided it's over and I happily accept that. There are plenty of other opportunities to work on myself.

My Brothers, I need to ask for your help.

I no longer want to treat this problem as if it's a thin strand - rather, it is a mountain and I need to climb it (see Gemara Sukkah 52a).
This particular mountain is called Amazon.
Like the actual Amazon, it has abundant resources, but also some deadly inhabitants.
I'm done rationalizing.

As a practical function I buy a lot of things on Amazon. While if need be I will have to simply stop, it would be ideal if I can find an acceptable way to continue to have its convenience without the drawbacks (ads and "random" pictures of things I'm not looking for). 

If I knew of a good option, I would go for it. Not knowing the options will no longer be an excuse. I'm setting my will to figure this out, because I know that that is the right thing to do.

Wizmage does not seem to be available for phones. My current filter is on or off, there is no partial use option.

Are there any filter setups that would allow use of Amazon on a phone while blocking images of people - or blocking all images?


Thank you for helping me help myself.

Techloq has an image filter that works pretty well on 99.99% of websites. I use it on Amazon with nothing coming through.

I believe it can work the same on a phone

MB Smart has an option to block images on the amazon app.

Thank you!
I have MB Smart and it seems I'll need to upgrade to Pro to have access to that feature. BezH.

OK.
Done and done!
Just upgraded and the new filter (through the Kiwi browser) is painting over Amazon images that have people in them. Yofee Tofee.
It does also now have painted youtube - so next I need to get rid of that.

Thank you chaverim!

I love reading through a thread and seeing the other people who are viewing it along the way. It’s like finding other people’s bookmarks and knowing that we are all sharing these experiences together.

Have a wonderful Shabbos!

A unique opportunity to

Erev Shabbos can be

Alas, I could not

Keep myself from the

Special friend and

Holy Brother

Hmmm, are you offering any hints who that was?
