I've used Firefox for decades. I like the fact that within moments, in Firefox, you can go into about:config and set browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing to false. Problem solved. This is the best I have found for Chrome based browsers but it's still not as good as the way Firefox handles large images. A huge issue is that unlike in Firefox where I can click on an image and drag it to my desktop, this extension actually prevents me from doing that and I have to turn it off. People were asking for this functionality in a locked and ignored request to the Chrome forum over ten years ago but Google have become very "Take it or Leave it" arrogant over the last few years. This is just one of the reasons why Chrome based browsers will never replace Firefox as my primary browser.

This should be chrome's default. WARNING TO OTHER USERS: this extension features a potential epilepsy inducing smiley face in the settings for no reason whatsoever.
