ultra coolboy (ID: 000000c46736d28f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/09/2024 EDIT 3/5/2022 (again) did some messing around and now it's working, make sure you go into the extension settings and toggle acess on and off for it to work Edit: 3/13/2024 stopped working today xd Edit3/20/2024 ok so I know the creator was not dealing with any issues and I want to report this extension dose work in incognito mode, did some messing around with the extension in the settings trying to manually update it and now images don't even open up on the side the black background just opens up on the side, gonna try reinstalling it. Edit-2 3/20/2024 so I tested it out in on another profile and it actually worked so I'm not sure if any other extentions are getting in the way of this one, I even cleared my cookies and still no luck Edit 4/9/2024- it's working again now, sorry google is being such a pain with ruining the extension like this with their site changes.

Pietro Pezzotti (ID: 000000a4fbf82e93) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/05/2024 05/04/24 It finally works again!

Emanuel Jhutti (ID: 000000f695899693) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/05/2024 Thank god

n ascentt (ID: 000000ea67c3094b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/22/2024 This is incredibly well made. It looks completely native and not at all hacked on top of what's really underneath. I'm in awe at how well this turned out. Have installed it on Chrome and Firefox and am recommending it to others. Great job. Edit: 5 years later it still works great in chrome and firefox for me. Although it doesn't work in edge (which supports chrome addons). Would be happy to help provide info to the developer but it looks like their github is read only.

Max Payne (ID: 000000664ea4d1fb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/06/2023 Works great now after the update! and the related images working too. Thank you.
