As someone else stated it does not work. The Lazy people in charge of this app do not supply any documentation either so they SUCK at life in general. Starting to think Garbage like this without Documentation should not be allowed to add their trash undocumented extensions to any of the extension manager stores!!!

can you stop it from auto opening any image links please? I only want it to open the links when I click on the better view button!

There are some issues that keep me from otherwise loving this. I assume the "Turn Off" button is suppose to disable the extensions for the current page and just display the image in the tab, but it just shows a blank page. On some sites like discord, it just locks you out of opening images in new tabs entirely and forces you to download them. There's also no additional settings to access from the pinned icon or extension manager. When something goes wrong there's no options for trouble shooting. Redownload the extension seems like your only option. Even something as simple as being able to toggle the extension from the pinned icon would be appreciated. It would make times where it might get in the way a little bit easier. For example, as useful as the dragging feature is when zoomed into a picture, I'm sad that it prevents me from dragging images from the tab into an opened explorer window to download it directly to that folder. That usually saves me a lot of time. I was pleasantly surprised the text extractor had an option for Japanese vertical; most text extractors won't do that. I just wish it was faster. Even something as simple as three characters can take up to...well I don't know. It's still extracting in the ten minutes I spent writing this. English takes a good while too, but it finishes at least. And you need to make sure you're not zoomed into the image, like if it's a large image and you need to zoom in to accurately select a region. Otherwise it kind of breaks, and you'll need to reload the image. So while it has a lot of nice features, I think I'll keep it turned off until the rare occasion that I need them just to keep it from affecting my workflow.
