Hover your mouse over any image on the supported websites and the extension will automatically enlarge the image to its full size, making sure that it still fits into the browser window.

This is an open source version of the original HoverZoom extension which is now overrun by malware and deleted from store. In this version all spyware has been removed, many bugs were fixed and new features were added. It doesn't collect any statistics by default. The only permission it needs is to access data on all websites (to extract full images), and optional permissions to access browser history, download/save images or get tab urls for per-site configuration.

Sometimes sites change design and when it happens extension needs to be updated. Please report any issues with zoom not working by using Support tab or https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/issues page.

User reviews

No se como explicarlo pero antes andaba muy bien esta extensión, con ella podía ver comics, videos, GIFs e imágenes múltiples con solo apuntar y cambiar haciendo Scroll con la rueda del Mouse, ahora no se porque cada vez que intento expandir una imagen se queda cargando y a veces solo se reproduce el audio sin aparecer nada más que los efectos configurados por mi cuenta. Por favor Devs actualicen esto y corrijan ese error si llega a ocurrir de nuevo. (Ya volví a instalarla y funcionó esta vez, pero al parecer se daño la extensión y se crasheo por un momento hasta desactivarse por si sola y sin explicación, por eso es que aun sigo con la duda de si estas fallas siguen ahí presentes. Presten atención al feedback si no es mucho pedir, se los agradecería muchísimo)
