hoverzoom VS maxurl

I will leave this as a gallery of emails with offers to buy extension hoverzoom: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670

Sidenote: The "collaboration" offers come from time to time even to non-extensions projects, if they are reasonably widely used. E.g. simple tools (rather widely used suite of android apps recently sold).

> Manifest V3 will stop this by limiting what Google describes "remotely hosted code." All updates, even to benign things like a filtering list, will need to happen through full extension updates through the Chrome Web Store. They will all be subject to Chrome Web Store reviews process, and that comes with a significant time delay.

So the author can't think of any other reason for this change other than to "slow down ad blocker updates"

Well how about stuff like this: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670

Where an extension dev details offers to "monetize" his app and basically perform a bait and switch and make it malicious.

These type of offers are actually quite common. See this[0] and the discussion[1]. I try to stick with only the most popular of extensions in the hope that any malicious changes would be widespread news, but it is still a gamble.

As a maintainer of a semi-popular chrome extension[1], I receive so many buy-out offers that I started publicly collecting them[2] for everyone to see.

Also, here's a open source alternative.

I don't want to download a sieve from a russian forum. Hover Zoom+ is working fine.

When you're archiving, make sure you're using this GreaseMonkey script to auto-redirect to higher quality versions of the image.

However, removing the imwidth=750&imdensity=1 parameters, or using extensions like Image Max URL (GitHub repo) gave me a 1240x1754 AVIF.

How do I install this JS userscript, so it is available on every page inside my browser?

Both the website and the userscript (latest git) now support this.

Image Max URL, it auto directs to the highest possible resolution on the site.

Try this pasting the image URL here https://qsniyg.github.io/maxurl/

This browser extension/script can help get you started: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl

There's also maximageurl that can sometimes help too https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl https://qsniyg.github.io/maxurl/
