## Description

<strong>Clean Image Opener</strong> is a simple add-on that helps you open the original version of an image - without all the extra stuff added to the URL. Right-click on any image and choose <em>Open in new tab (without parameters)</em> to strip out query strings that may cause compression, format changes, or tracking.

For example, it turns a link like:
<code>https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/165bfff2-1b34-41b0-b094-026186e6b0ba.jpeg?format=webp&amp;thumbnail=256</code>
into:
<code>https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/165bfff2-1b34-41b0-b094-026186e6b0ba.jpeg</code>

This often results in higher-quality or original-format images - just one right-click away.
