Would be five stars, but am running into a very annoying bug. Clicking on the image no longer zooms it in or out, and is only fixed upon a restart of Chrome. Is this a memory issue?

I've used Firefox for decades. I like the fact that within moments, in Firefox, you can go into about:config and set browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing to false. Problem solved. This is the best I have found for Chrome based browsers but it's still not as good as the way Firefox handles large images. A huge issue is that unlike in Firefox where I can click on an image and drag it to my desktop, this extension actually prevents me from doing that and I have to turn it off. People were asking for this functionality in a locked and ignored request to the Chrome forum over ten years ago but Google have become very "Take it or Leave it" arrogant over the last few years. This is just one of the reasons why Chrome based browsers will never replace Firefox as my primary browser.

This needs an option to allow for more zoom choices than just fit window/fit vertical/fit horizontal.

I could absolutely not figure out how to get the click/doubleclick functionality to work properly. After toggling the image sizing a few times, it becomes unresponsive to my clicks, and only spamming/random clicking will get it to switch again. The rest of the settings are great, and if this issue didn't affect me I'd rate 5/5. Definitely worth trying, hope it works for others!

Thank you very much for this must-have extension that fixes a problem ignored by the Chrome developers.. I only wish the image info didn't disappear in 2 seconds. It's a very short time to be able to read anything and there is no way to adjust it and make the feature actually useful.

I don't like how the info box at the bottom only appears for like 2 seconds then disappears. Most of the time I barely have time to read it! There should be an option to enable it permanently.

Works great when it works. The zoom options are a little buggy. They recently stopped working for me.
