Gmail Inline Image Fit Extension

[[ Abandoned project / open to contributions ]]
There has been ages that I don't work in companies that send nasty emails which need fixing by this extension, and thus I stopped following the Gmail changes. Every now and then, someone sends an email with an issue, which unfortunately I don't have the time or will to fix.
However, I'm still open to Pull Requests in the project's GitHub repo, so feel free to collaborate!


[[ Description ]]
Ever complained about the horizontal scrolling that large images create on Gmail messages? Like those screenshots your client sent you, or a fancy signature that's cool for their widescreen monitors, but not for your windowed view?

This is a small extension that adds a slight rule so inline images will always fit in the message body. No need to keep scrolling back and forth to read any paragraph.

Gmail already provides a lightbox with an enlarged view of pictures, so you can use it as usual to view the complete image :)

Brian Tibbels (ID: 000000d4ddf08a37) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 Brilliant extension which addresses an age old problem.

Erik Schluntz (ID: 0000002a75b8e034) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/30/2023 You sir are a hero. Still works for me on windows

Bart (ID: 0000009896405884) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/30/2023 Works fine, but an annoying side effect is that it makes emojis comically large. If I communicated with frequent emoji users I'd likely remove the extension, as I don't receive enough messages with oversized inline images to make it worth dealing with 40mm wide emojis.

Music Lab Folsom (ID: 000000d5ed1da79a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/09/2023 Just WOW! This has been plaguing me for years. So nice to be able to read all the text. Thank you!

J H (ID: 0000002e0ed7ca65) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/01/2023 Sadly doesn't work. My colleague on a MAC/Chrome does not have this same issue looking at the same email with large images; her desktop shrinks the images automatically. I was hoping this would fix the issue for my on a PC.
