Better Image Scaling

Improves the image scaling of Chrome, providing crisper and clearer resized images on pages.

Better Image Scaling: Optimize Image Clarity on Chrome

Better Image Scaling is a Chrome extension designed to improve the visual quality of resized images by applying the 'webkit-optimize-contrast' effect, part of the 'image-rendering' CSS property, to all images on a given page. The effect can vary depending on the image content and size, and may not always be noticeably different. The extension does not affect images that aren't resized by the browser. In some cases, the application of this CSS property can create a 'serrated' effect, reducing the smoothness of the image.

Does exactly what it says! How Chrome has such poor image scaling by default I don't know, but this extension mostly fixes it.
