I'm not fond of this behavior. It means that if I look at an entry that embeds an image link, as is the case for the xkcd feed, for example, the owners of the servers sending me the images are essentially automatically notified of when I checked my feed reader. I'm sure most servers aren't set up to take advantage of this, but that doesn't change the fact that this behavior gratuitously invites this kind of tracking.\r\n\r\nAs Liferea currently is, the only way I can see to prevent images from being loaded is to check the \"Work offline\" box in the Subscriptions menu. This isn't convenient to do at all; you have to check \"work offline\" every time you want to look at entries, and then remember to uncheck it again if you want to get updates later in the day. There needs to be a better mechanism to prevent automatic remote loading of images. A checkbox to disable the behavior, for example.\r\n\r\nBut what I would suggest is to do what email clients do: just don't load linked images automatically, unless the user opts in to the behavior of loading all images automatically. Instead, add a button that causes such images to be loaded, so the users can decide *each time* whether or not they want to see the images (and whether or not they're OK with the people sending the images knowing about it). Treating \\<img\\> tags as \\<a\\> tags while images are not loaded would also be helpful."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lwindolf/liferea/issues/comments/124497460","html_url":"https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/164#issuecomment-124497460","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lwindolf/liferea/issues/164","id":124497460,"user":{"login":"asl97","id":4752645,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4752645?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97","html_url":"https://github.com/asl97","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asl97/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-24T11:46:42Z","updated_at":"2015-07-24T11:46:42Z","body":"all the idea that been stated all sound easy to implement directly into liferea but it isn't.\r\n\r\nit is however easy to implement it as a script.\r\n____\r\n\r\nie:\r\nmake a script for the feed,  replace all image link with a button with javascript in the on_click which replace it with the image."}}
