Summary

Analyze keywords

*** Configuration ***

At first, don't forget to set a limit mode and value in the Options of the extension.

*** Usage & Hotkeys ***

Use Ctrl + mouse move over image for load the original instance.

Note that, a host settings (limit mode and value) restores after browser reloading, but the on/off states of tabs does't.

If you want to see only small images(like icons) but cut off the big, then set image data size between 1K - 5K.

*** Known issues ***

1.On some sites the image fully loading(Ctrl + Mouseover) not working well. It depends on how site was built. I have fixed many issues but I guess that is not all.

It's a very good extension, but without ability to save settings across restarts It is very annoying. only if it could remember the settings per website after restart it would be great!

Good but not perfect, its great that it can selectively choose what to show but the implementation of "ctrl hover" to show the image is less than ideal on sites with alot of picutres. The extension also breaks when it is used with the Bandwidth hero extension.
