## Description

behind! is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help users reveal all images underneath their cursor, especially when the 'view background image' option is disabled or greyed out. It can uncover background images, those hidden beneath clickable overlays, embedded base64-encoded images, alternative image resolutions, vector images including inline SVGs, and images residing within the shadow DOM.

Whether you're a designer, developer, or casual user frustrated by hidden images on websites, behind! offers a seamless solution to access and open these images directly. Its open-source code is also available for tech enthusiasts interested in its inner workings.
