Extension 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.
