Wanted this to be a replacement for HoverZoom but it just breaks way on too many sites, even popular ones like Gmail (search bar constantly downloading the image unless you type X first). Ended up crawling back to hover zoom, which hopefully they'll update it so it doesn't get removed 🤞

I don't like this auto zooming feature at all. Maybe others like it but I think many like me don't so there at least should be an option to toggle that off. Earlier it just enlarged and now also zooms into... ridiculous.

Still poor functionality - no support for videos and albums, inconvenient viewing modes. This extension is still a long way from Imagus Reborn.

Not working properly on google images. Now not working on all images. It just zooms 5 out of 10 images. There is another issue which is until I click on any particular image it doesn't zoom at full scale. Normally in google images if I hover mouse over thumbnails then it just zoom the image of thumbnail size but not the actual size. When I click a particular image and then hover over it, it zooms at full capacity. This has been happening for a month. It didn't work like in early days. Fix it.

I was using Imagus before: Imagus did also display videos (gif, mp4, ...) for easy download. This one doesnt - up to now

Idk what kind of black magic imagus does, but it would always find the highest res version of what i'm hovering over, not just the thumbnail. it's really useful for that. (it appears hover zoom does this too) this just seems to pull from whatever thumbnail i'm hovering over, which ends up often being the same size of what i can already see. any chance you could replicate that feature? because it's probably the most important aspect of an addon like this to me

Needs a right click and zoom with scroll wheel option like Imagus. Should've used Imagus as the template for your extension. Please consider adding those options. How do I save an image?

It's not as smooth as Imagus but works fairly well for the most part. When it doesn't however, it crashes websites (BlueSky for example). It's easy enough to disable it for certain websites, but if it doesn't work on social media, it doesn't work.

Works well for pictures but should allow to view GIFs and videos by hovering like hover zoom did.

It works great, though I'm tossing in a 3-Star for a few reasons. • The magnification isn't exactly magnification, it just enlarges the image a small bit • Images shown on something like Reddit, where an image could be posted, should enlarge the image to a larger resolution and bigger viewing angle • Hover feature is a bit too sensitive, there needs to be a safe zone on the outer side of the image before it enlarges, or the ability to enable a button you can tap to enlarge the image. Other than the minor complaints, the add-on so far is really decent and it definitely outdoes the previous popular choice, Imagus as the devs have left that project abandoned. Seeing continued work to make this better than the simplicity of Imagus would be awesome, and I'm in full support as it's basically drag and drop.

App works well and the tools are exactly what I need but the problem is it doesn't show the original image from the image address. When I manually copy the image address, and paste in a new tab, it shows a much larger photo quality than this app's version. I tested this in X (Twitter). I hope you can have this problem fixed.
