Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Find and extract all images, pictures, GIFs, background images and videos laying under the cursor, whatever their depth or nesting in the DOM tree. This extension also supports extracting the current frame of canvas elements.

This is useful to bypass the HTML, Javascript or CSS tricks some websites use to prevent the user from accessing the page assets — which is plain ridiculous, as there are accessible anyway.

Usage: right-click on any image or video, then select “Images under cursor”: a list of found images will appear, that you can open or save. You can also use the Ctrl+Shift+F keyboard shortcut. The shortcut can be customized in Chrome settings. You can use Escape to close the dialog.

Worked great. No more manually digging through the DOM to figure out where in the hell Meta developers decided to hide their image at. Thank you so much!
