IIV: Improved Image Viewer Extension

By default, pictures opened in the new tab of Google Chrome, \"stick\" to the upper left corner and that is not always good and comfortable, especially if this picture is small. This extension tactfully intervenes in \"default option\" and provides you a myriad of display options.

By mousing over the IIV icon in the top left corner you can:
— View fullscreen
— View imaging covering the entire screen
— View at original size & centered on page
— Download image
— Save your default viewing option

If you like the extension don't forget to tell your friends about it - it's easy to do it on the config page using the buttons of social network in the bottom of the screen.

Please write your wishes and opinions in the comments or by sending an e-mail, they will really help me!

If you notice an error in the extension, write about it on the address [email protected]
