## Description

img2tab is a powerful Chrome extension designed for effortless access to all images on any webpage. Whether browsing image-centric websites such as Reddit, 4chan, or Tumblr, img2tab streamlines the process by opening images in either multiple separate tabs or in a single, vertically scrollable tab.
