What is Center images?
'Center Images' is a Chrome extension designed to upgrade your image viewing experience. It centers images over a dark background, giving a user-friendly viewing mode akin to Firefox.

The extension also works with strict Content Security Policy websites and fits large images without any cutoff. The source code is available for public access.
