Rational ific (ID: 000000d2bf070877) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2022 I'm giving this 5 stars because for me, it does its job. Beggars can't be choosers. When you zoom in, it zooms to the top-left of the image (not where you point the cursor) but you can drag the image afterwards to see what you want. Also, the zoom is very slow. I would prefer not having to turn the mouse wheel so much to zoom in. But you know what? Apparently nobody else has created a better option, and it's much better than not having the ability or having to use Ctrl+ to enlarge an entire page, so yes, it's the best and it gets 5 stars. Definitely get this if you want to be able to zoom into images in your browser.
