This is brilliant for extremely large embedded images. Downside is that all sent emojis and signature emojis look HUGE. Please update the extension to do away with this strange side effect.

This extension does what it says. It takes oversized inline images in Gmail and reduces them to a max width of 100% of the parent element's size. In other words, it fits the image on the screen so that you don't have to scroll horizontally to view the image and find the reply button. As other reviewers have noted, one significant downside is that this extension makes emojis annoyingly large. Can't you just make the max-width: 100% without changing the size of smaller images? If you could fix that I would give the extension five stars.

This extension enlarges emojis quite a bit, which is why I give it 3 stars.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Gmail Inline Image Fit requires very minimum permissions.
