User reviews
Though this is the lightest-weight of such extensions (and among the first), over the years I've noticed that it tends to consume more CPU cycles (at any time) than reasonable, and recently the code seems to be breaking from certain Flickr pages (appending the "/sizes/o/" to the username rather than passing the photo-id correctly). Be absolutely thrilled if the developer could take a look into these issues and maybe update the extension!

Excellent extension, would be even better if someone could update it to include the new image sizes
