A new extension for the Google Chrome web browser and a script for Firefox allow you to see the images present on the main websites, in large preview, with real dimensions, just by hovering over a thumbnail. The usefulness of this extension is to be emphasized in bold because it saves a lot of time when browsing online photos and images browsing the web.
To understand what it is and realize it, you can open a Google Images page and search for all the photos related to a famous person of your choice.
The results are presented in a table with the thumbnails of the images found, possibly to be opened if they are of interest, to then go back and so on.
Thanks to Google Chrome and Firefox, it will no longer be necessary to open the images one by one because they will be visible in their original size, in a preview box, superimposed, which automatically appears when you stop with the mouse over it, without clicking.
If the thumbnail is on the right side of the screen, the preview will be seen on the left and vice versa.
The extension for Google Chrome that enables the automatic display of the image preview on hover is Imagus for Chrome and that can also be installed on Firefox .
This extension works with all websites and also on Google search pages.
Chrome users may remember that an identical function had already been found for Facebook with the Social Fixer extension, useful for viewing large images without having to click on them.
In this case, however, the full-size preview function is also possible for the Google and Flickr search of Yahoo which, in fact, represent the most used search engines.
Still on the subject of image visualization, I also remember the Photo Slideshow extension for Chrome, which allows you to browse images of websites, in full screen, as you would with computer photos.
