The 'But Really Open Image In New Tab' Chrome extension improves your browsing by ensuring that when you right-click an image to open it in a new tab, it actually opens—even if the image is hidden behind other elements. This extension intelligently ignores overlapping or hidden layers and opens the underlying image reliably.

Bonus features include opening all stacked images on a page simultaneously, recognizing images set with CSS background-image properties, and supporting SVG images. This ensures comprehensive image accessibility beyond the standard browser functionality. Note that this extension does not work on Chrome Web Store pages due to browser restrictions. Enhance your image viewing experience seamlessly with this handy extension!

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.
