Skip image loading by selenium

Answer 1

FirefoxDriver supports loading strategy that doesn't require page to fully load. Thus driver will return without waiting for images to load:

Capybara.register_driver :firefox do |app|
  profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
  profile['webdriver.load.strategy'] = 'unstable'
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, profile: profile)
end
Capybara.default_driver = :firefox
