Description

➤ Main features: •Hover magnification: No need to click; simply hover over an element to activate it.

•Smart detection: Works on <img> and <video> tags as well as <a> links pointing to image or video files (common formats like .jpg, .png, .gif, .mp4, .webm, etc.).

•Automatic video playback: Detected videos start automatically in the preview window, muted and looping for seamless viewing.

•Two display modes: 1. Double size (beside): Shows the image at 200% of its original size in a window next to the cursor. The window positions itself intelligently to stay on screen. 2. Full width (overlay): Displays the image large, overlaying the page content and taking up the width of the window.

•Full control: A simple, intuitive popup lets you toggle the extension on or off and switch modes on the fly.

•Configurable zoom factor: Adjust the magnification level directly from the popup.

•Quick Close with Escape : Just press the Escape key to instantly close any active preview, without needing to move your mouse.

•Lightweight and performant: Designed to have minimal impact on browsing performance by activating scripts only when necessary.

➤ How to use:

  1. Click the extension icon in the toolbar to open the configuration popup.
  2. Use the main switch to enable or disable the extension.
  3. Choose your preferred "magnification mode": Double size (beside): Ideal for quickly inspecting images without losing page context. Full width (overlay): Perfect for viewing an image in greater detail.
  4. Adjust the zoom factor to control the magnification level.
