Doesn't work

Gretch Kay, 2025-03-09

this works on some photos and shows the larger version in weird places on the screen sometimes the image is hanging off the side of the screen so it's cropped. Does not compare to Hover Zoom+ which unfortunately is no longer supported by Google.

Very useful. It is really fast, full size images are displayed quickly and usually in higher resolution as within the webpage. For example, saves a lot of time when browsing shops because you can see big images without having to load product pages. I was looking for a replacement for "HoverZoom+" which I loved using but which Google wants to remove from the store, unfortunately. Huge difference is that "Hover zoom image" is off by default for new tabs and has to be activated once, so you should pin the extension icon to the top bar to make it easy.
