Center Images: Chrome Extension For Image Viewing

'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 supports all image formats and URLs and has an offline mode. It even works with videos and adds a light shadow. When printing, it prevents a black backdrop. 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.

Works just as described. Way better than the default implementation. Works in the Brave browser too.
