## Description

The **Simple Floating Image Viewer** Chrome extension lets you effortlessly float images above any screen. Share an image to the app from any source, and it appears in a draggable, resizable floating window that stays on top of all other applications. You can easily pinch-to-zoom and adjust the image transparency for an unobtrusive viewing experience.

This extension works fully offline, requires no storage permissions, and ensures no background processes run once all floating windows are closed. It's a lightweight and privacy-focused tool designed to enhance multitasking and image referencing across your workflow.
