Description
Could you please add Text-Only mod into domain settings. I know there is already image blocking mod but i am talking about something very "Old" and "Pure". No web view, no scripts, no images, nothing else but simple plain text like this browser...

- Priority changed from 3.x to 4.x
This would not be possible until the 4.x series. Additionally, this feature would require a fair amount of ongoing maintenance with each release of Privacy WebView, so I think it is unlikely I would ever implement it. But, I will leave the feature request open to see how much interest there is among users.

Instead of "Disable Images", it would be better to replace it with "Disable Media" & add all the rest of the media formats that fall under video, audio, gifs, etc. That would literally turn the browser into "Text Mode".

I am not sure that would give you what most people consider a text mode because, for example, you will still have the CSS layout information, which can waste screen space, alter font sizes, and otherwise prevent a pure text mode.
As far as I can tell, implementing this would require a lot of work to figure out which text is import, extract that text, and lay it out in what would basically be a TextView. It would be a constant battle and would probably require a fair amount of custom rules to work with various websites.
