How do I stop youtube images from loading after trying to do so in the options?

more options

I have gone into Options under Tools and unchecked the "Load images automatically" box, restarted my computer, and typed in the google search bar, Adrienne Barbeau. Various hits come up, but the one I select is the Adrienne Barbeau Voluptuous link. It is a youtube video. I select it and it loads and plays! Along the right side of the page are other videos whose images also load. So what I did in Options did not work. Then I tried leaving that box checked and clicking on "Exceptions". I typed in "www.youtube.com" and I clicked on "block" and then it was entered in the bigger box below the data entry field. Again, I closed that, clicked on OK, and then restarted my computer. Nothing happened. Nothing was blocked on youtube. There has to be a way to disable youtube images from loading! What is it?!

Hi,

Please also try adding ytimg.com in Exceptions. You can right-click on an image and Copy Image Location to get the address, or View Image to show it in the location (address) bar.
