Chrome Image Uncenterer Extension

This is a tiny extension that reverts Chrome’s image viewer back to how it was before Chrome 56: No more stupid black background and centered image.

Update for version 0.0.2:
- Local files now work
- All image files should work, regardless of file extension

Jose Landin (ID: 000000e012a7a346) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/04/2023 Extension worked well before, but currently is in need of an update to the manifest file to continue functionality.

Ashwin Elpula (ID: 00000074148af02e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/25/2022 NO LONGER WORKS

. (ID: 000000114e89aea8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/21/2021 No longer works. I've used this using Linux and Vivaldi but it no longer responds. I don't mind the centered image but loathe (perhaps an understatement) the black background. I now use the "Getting Started Example" @ https://storage.googleapis.com/web-dev-uploads/file/WlD8wC6g8khYWPJUsQceQkhXSlv1/SVxMBoc5P3f6YV3O7Xbu.zip. I modified the color to white and it works well but I have to click a button to produce the background. I realize there are people with bigger problems than having to click a button, but I prefer the automatic nature of uncenterer

swordysan 01 (ID: 0000001dbe667812) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/20/2020 No longer works, really hoping for an update, was great to have.

David H (Clonkex) (ID: 00000088ed1e89d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/23/2020 EDIT 23/11/2020: Stopped working with Chrome 87 :( Thank you so much for this! It's completely stupid displaying the images centred on a black background. I use Chrome for work (web dev) and I need to be able to just view the images like a normal person instead of that dumb arty centring nonsense.
