Galleryzer Extension

Creates an image gallery out of all the images on page that are above the size specified in extension settings (to avoid showing header and banner images etc). Very convenient for viewing for example image threads on forums.

- Lightweight - doesn't use any additional Javascript libraries.
- Safe - Does not inject ads or analytics, does not send any data to any remote server.
- Responsive - scales between 2-4 columns based on browser window size.
- No duplicate images. Checks image sources for duplicate images so for example on forums where the same image might be quoted multiple times, the gallery only shows one instance of it.
- Light and dark theme option.
- Lightbox for showing image in full size. Also handles links leading to a larger version of the image.
- Support for showing forum thread page navigation in gallery and auto opening gallery when moving between thread pages. Support might vary based on forum software
- See options for keyboard shortcuts.
