User reviews

Imagus is praised as an essential, time-saving Firefox add-on that allows users to preview images and videos by hovering, reducing strain and enhancing browsing experience. Its scrollable carousel and custom CSS support are notable highlights. However, the extension suffers from lack of recent updates, causing it to malfunction on various sites. Users also miss easily toggling it for specific sites and desire features like instant image download. Despite these drawbacks, many consider it a vital tool for image viewing while browsing.

Highly useful and essential for browsing, especially for users who want to view images/videos by hovering without clicking.
Custom CSS support enhances functionality and personalization.
Allows viewing images/videos on hover, preventing repetitive strain injuries.
Simple and effective alternative to more complex image extensions.

Cons

Lacks an easily accessible option to enable or disable the add-on on specific sites.
Stops working occasionally, requiring users to restart the extension.
Not updated in years leading to functionality issues and abandonment problems.
No instant image downloading feature, which some users desire.
Compatibility issues with many sites including Flickr, reducing effectiveness.
