PhotoShow by Vincent W.

4.6 Stars out of 5

Review by Korwin

The extension adds a pop-up with a larger image (disappears as soon as the cursor stops pointing at the thumbnail) and a context menu with the following options: "Open HD image in new tab (Tab)", "Save HD image (S)", "Copy HD image (Alt + C)" and "Copy HD image address (C)" (can be disabled). Additionally, there is the option to display full-size image details, save with one click, and rotate/mirror.

Cons: In Mozilla Firefox 146, some keystrokes are not intercepted by the extension, but are used for quick search on the page. Half of the issues in the bugtracker are in hieroglyphs.

Hi there, and thank you for your feedback!

PhotoShow only intercepts its shortcut keys when doing so won’t interfere with the page’s native interactions. This means that if a focused interactive element with its own key actions (such as a text input) is active (focused), PhotoShow will NOT intercept those keystrokes — even if the image viewer is currently visible. (Just a note: hovering the mouse over an image usually doesn’t change the page’s focus.) Native page interactions always take priority.

If this doesn’t fully clarify the issue, feel free to report it via GitHub or email. Cheers!
