A user recently gave me some good feedback: "Confusing settings. Couldn't work out how to hide images again after making them faded white". I believe they are talking about the review mode.
There is currently a setting "Toggle Review Mode" under the right click menu for images. This will cause review mode to be turned on or off so that blocked images can be reviewed. When it is turned on, blocked images will display the original image in a grayed out fashion with the score icon. Also, it is important to know that an image is scanned and modified when it is downloaded. This means that if an image is currently in review mode, you won't see it change to be fully blocked without a page refresh.
Now, obviously some users may not want this feature as it presents a clear method to bypass filtering. On the other hand, many users may want this because they would like to see if the plugin is actually working. Internally, I use it to evaluate the effectiveness of the plugin. So I'm torn about including it or not - which is why it is not clearly listed as a feature right now.
Update: I have decided to remove "review mode" as a user-facing feature, due to the addition of a new feature. I am now logging thumbnails of blocked images to the console using Firefox 73's new feature supporting data URI's. I believe this gives the best of both worlds!
