What is Tumblr 1280?

"Tumblr 1280" is a Chrome addon that elevates your images browsing on Tumblr by automatically finding and showing the higher resolution version of an image, if one is available. It loads images not just at the standard 500 width, but in a more detailed 1280 width, giving users a superior viewing experience. The extension also provides improved resolution for GIFs.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Tumblr loads images in 2 resolutions: 500 wide and 1280 wide. Some tumblrs actually have the 1280 resolution, but when clicked, they link to the 500 one.

This extension attempts to automatically find and display the bigger image, if a higher resolution is available.

UPDATE: Now works with gifs! [from 250/400 to 500 resolution]

Hi. I think it comes to be a little bit bulky when youre dealing with a bunch of images... so, my request would be if you could do another extnsion in where instead of opening another tab, the extension is a button where if you click it, it takes you from the low res image, to the 1280 url, but in the same tab. thanks.
