Disable images in Selenium Google ChromeDriver

Question

How does one disable images in Google chrome when using it through Selenium and c#?

I\'ve attempted 6 ways and none worked. I\'ve even tried the answer on this Stack

Use http://chrome-extension-downloader.com/ to download the "Block Image" extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/block-image/pehaalcefcjfccdpbckoablngfkfgfgj?hl=en-GB). The extension prevents the image from being downloaded in the first place. Now it's just a matter of loading it using the following statement:

    var options = new ChromeOptions();

    //use the block image extension to prevent images from downloading.
    options.AddExtension("Block-image_v1.0.crx");

    var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
