One of the Best Extensions Around!
To the Reviewer named Cecil H.Y., and Anyone Else Whom Thinks that a Button is Required to Activate This Extension: Go Into the Extension's Settings (Right-Click the Extension's Icon, Click "Options"), Then Go to the "Advanced" Tab and the First Setting Available is Titled "Activate HoverZoom+" which Allows You to Select a Key to Press to Activate the Extension. Set it to the Option Titled "None". Or Even Better Yet, Just Click the Extension's Icon and a Keybinding Menu will Pop-up Allowing You to Change the Activation Method of All of the Features Offered. If the "Activate HoverZoom+" Option being changed doesn't Solve the Problem, Change the Option "Toggle HoverZoom+" to "None" as well and the Problem should be Solved...

Why do I have to hold down a button to do the only thing I downloaded the extension to do? I just want to zoom in on images and keep them zoomed in.

Работает далеко не на всех сайтах. Точнее даже - только на Pinterest и Гугл-картинки. Быть может, ещё где-нибудь.
