Prevent image loading when scraping (load pages as text-only)?

When scraping very long lists (e.g. search results on Facebook), often thousands of images are loaded into the computer’s cache (so stored on the SSD/HD) and memory, although they might have no use for the scraping process ... which under the very worst circumstances could even lead to a crash.

Is there a setting in Webscraper to prevent images from being loaded or does one have to do this through an Chrome blocker extension such as uBlock Origin?

Just found this Chrome Extension, which seems to do the job: Images ON/OFF

Go to chrome settings-->content settings--> Turn off images -->turn off images for particular website
