Image Background Color Picker Extension

**This extension won't be maintained further.** I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/Marnes-group/webextensions) will also remain available to fork.
**I do have a greasyfork account (https://greasyfork.org/en/users/18593-marnes) and may publish works there in the future.** I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.

Also available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/image-background-color-picker/

You can select any color or the checkerboard option, and it will be applied to all direct image view tabs.

Please check the linked homepage for more complete information. Issues can be filed on the linked support site.

621 Augmented Human -C4- (‪Raven‬) (ID: 0000002a1fcd890d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/21/2018 It works fine with JPEG images. That's nice, but that's a matter of taste with little to no functional benefit. It does nothing to PNG files too dark and transparent to even see clearly on Chrome's default background. This extension is useless as an "accessibility" tool.
