WARNING: extension has just been updated to request to READ ALL BROWSING HISTORY. Unless this is an oversight, this seems like a potential violation of privacy, especially given there is no apparent reason why this is now suddenly required. Would be open to hearing more information from the developers about this change but given no info as of now, I sadly need to uninstall. Other than that, extension previously worked great and as advertised within google docs! - Only improvement/note is the extension activates on Google Slides/Presentation as well: when a picture is double clicked, the expand icon appears to the right of the slides (icon is not on the photo) and when switching slides the icon remains and can't be removed even though the photo it will expand no longer is present in the current slide. Would be great if the icon to expand were tied to the photo it is expanding and goes away when switching slides.

Works as advertised

This looks amazing in principle, but like another user said, I need to use it with images pasted inside cells, not over cells. Because they cannot be selected, the extension does not work. What a pity :-( If it was available for images inside cells, it would open up the possibility to manage data records including images in a really cool way. Compact and neat. Images over cell go all over the place if you change data.
