Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This Chrome extension will show an image if you hover over its thumbnail or a link. Also integrates with Reddit Gold to properly sync visited state for images (i.e. purple/blue links) across machines! If you don't care about the Reddit Gold integration, you should just use HoverZoom+ instead as it is more frequently updated.

Recent reviews

Doesn't seem to like to work with videos of any kind. It works nicely most of the time when enlarging pictures, but it can be sporadic. It will enlarge the video preview image, but nothing plays, nothing moves, its as if all the itty bitty people in the frame are just in suspended animation.
