Berk Arslan (ID: 0000008ed0d8c6ea) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/23/2022 For me, it opens the url with "about:blank" text and shows nothing at first. Then, when I click on the url, it automatically gets changed to the correct url ("filesystem:https://...") and then I press the Enter key and it shows the image. I still rated it 5 stars since there is no other extensions that does what this extension does but the bugs should be fixed. Edit: Doesn't work anymore..

David Mattoon (ID: 0000008791760e18) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/31/2022 I am having the exact same issue Berk Arslan had. I restarted Chrome to no avail. Do you know what processes/settings he had to adjust? Thanks! "For me, it opens the url with "about:blank" text and shows nothing at first.
