User reviews
Works exactly as describe... no fluff, no extras, just picture zoom via mouse-wheel... Exactly what I wanted.
Potřebuji zvětšit obrázky v prohlížeči Brave. Tento doplněk by to měl dle popisu umožňovat. Hledám v kontextovém menu když kliknu na obrázek (tak jak jsem byl zvyklý u prohlížeče EDGE), ale žádné "zvětšit obrázek" bohužel nevidím. Nechápu...
I don't know what these other reviewers are on about, this works exactly as described.
