Short description
Make it possible to open by click a link to a local file that is disabled by Chrome. View hidden tagged photos of anyone without being friends (This is a NON-official Facebook app)
Full summary

In Google Chrome, links to local files are disabled, unlike IE. This extension allows you to open a link to a local file by clicking it.

[Setting] Starting with Chrome 118 in October 2023, you will need to enable the "Allow access to file URLs" setting from the extension settings page. chrome://extensions/?id=nikfmfgobenbhmocjaaboihbeocackld

[Security] A malicious page can not open a local file without permission, because this extension reacts only to the click operation by the user.

[Others] Personal information is not collected / used. Source code is released to GitHub. https://github.com/tksugimoto/chrome-extension_open-local-file-link

Disclaimer: This is NOT an official Facebook app.

PictureMate is a single button on Chrome for you to find publicly tagged photos of anyone on Facebook or other social media sites without requiring to be friends with them

To use:

  1. Go to a user's profile (You don't need to be friends)
  2. Click on PIctureMate's icon

How does this work:

PictureMate finds the user’s ID of a given profile, and through graph search, finds all tagged photos of anyone.
