Rated 5 out of 5
by ForeFix, 6 years agoVery good addon, to find and grab otherwise inaccessible HD versions of many images. In active development, and on the way to be a better alternative to Imagus and all other image-preview-on-hover extension (it can do basically the same things + upgrade to the HD/source version in the process, which is a BIG advantage).
Actually, it can already be qualified as such, it's just that I'm hindered a bit by how to popup-on-hover doesn't disappear when we leave the thumbnail beneath: we have to completely leave the HD-image preview itself, which is pretty big and thus often make our cursor go away from the field where thumbnails-to-enlarge are. It's just a problem of convenience because i'm used to how Imagus operates, nothing that can be qualified as a major problem. Currently, i'm just using "Popup position> Beside Cursor" as a semi-workaround.
The Options page could be visually improved imo; too much wasted space... It could use foldable categories, and frames to better separate them. And respecting the "dark themes" of firefox too would be awesome, or at least having a background less bright/blinding than pure white.
Edit: oh, also an entry in the context menu for blacklisting an image (being able to edit the url in the process to make glob rules would be a plus), rather than going to the options and scrolling.
These are just suggestions, your extension is awesome qsniyg! Thank you for making it, improving it so much over time, and for making it open source. You rock!
PS: when you have time, could you improve instagram support for posts that have more than 1 image/media in it? Currently, the "gallery" feature jumps to the next post when we click on an arrow, instead of going through all the images inside the post itself (when it has more than 1).

>it's just that I'm hindered a bit by how to popup-on-hover doesn't disappear when we leave the thumbnail beneath
If you set "Popup position" -> "Beside Cursor" (as you wrote), and "Close when leaving thumbnail" (which should be the default), it should work, at least it does for me on Reddit... would you mind opening a github issue (link is on the addon page) for which site you're using that doesn't work (and maybe your settings as well, if you click "Export" at the top)? I'd like to fix this if possible :)
EDIT: I think I understand what you meant now. Previously, the behavior was to close the popup if the cursor was out of both the popup, and the thumbnail. In 0.12.5, you can now customize this to be only the thumbnail if you prefer (through "Close when leaving" -> Thumbnail)
>The Options page could be visually improved imo
I completely agree, this is one of my next priorities. Even I get lost in them, so that's definitely not a good sign haha. Thanks for the suggestions on how to do it, I'll keep them in mind! (tracked here: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/issues/91)
EDIT: As of 0.12.16, I've implemented the frames feature you mentioned, and it also supports splitting categories into tabs. Thanks for the idea!
>And respecting the "dark themes" of firefox too would be awesome
Good idea! I've tracked it here: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/issues/189.
EDIT: It's in 0.12.3 now, if you set "Dark mode" manually in preferences. Currently for whatever reason, detecting dark mode doesn't work on my system so I can't yet add support for automatic detection.
>oh, also an entry in the context menu for blacklisting an image
I've tracked it here: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/issues/127, it might take a bit longer to implement though, as a new UI would have to be made for it. But I agree, it's quite important.
>could you improve instagram support for posts that have more than 1 image/media in it
Yes, that's also something I've been thinking of working on soon. I'll try to do it in the next release if possible :) (tracked here: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/issues/50).
EDIT: It's in 0.12.3, if you enable "Use albums for Instagram post thumbnails".

You're very welcome, and thanks for taking the time to write that! :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Noober, 2 years agoI like using the extension, but only rarely. I only need to use it for one site. I do not need it to work on Google Images or IMDB! I would like to choose the sites where this extension can work because I am tired of turning on/off.
Can you please add Whitelist to settings?Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks for the suggestion, I've added a new feature in 2023.12.0 to turn the blacklist into a whitelist (Set the relevant blacklist mode to Whitelist), as well as a new "Host blacklist" option to specifically enable/disable IMU popups for host websites. - Rated 5 out of 5by SaierForceOne, 2 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by JokeDeity, 2 years agoUsed to work great for me, but I'm back to googling everything because this doesn't return any different images anymore for me. Just shows the same image I'm searching from and never loads anything new. I never changed any of my settings, it just stopped working for me. Was really nice before it stopped. Can't find a setting that would change anything for the better.

posted 2 years agoCould you let me know which websites don't work anymore? It's very possible they updated their websites in some way, and I haven't been aware of it to update it. Feel free to use any of the channels listed at the end of the addon's description for communication (github/discord/email etc.)
I also just updated the addon to 2023.8.0. See if it solves any of your issues :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Macurta, 2 years agoExtension is now working perfectly for Deviant-Art. Thank you for fixing it. Works great!
Developer response
posted 2 years agoCan you try with the latest version (2023.8.0)? I believe I fixed most of the DeviantArt issues there :)
Edit: Glad to know it works for you again! - Rated 5 out of 5by Mikaela, 2 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17568747, 2 years agoWorks great for the most part, but it breaks .mp4 files, converting them to .jpg in the browser. Ultimately had to remove this extension, and find a different one.

posted 2 years agoIf you're referring to Imgur, this issue should be fixed in the next release: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/issues/1050
If not, could you let me know which website it does this on? The issue you're describing is definitely not intended behavior, so I'd love to fix it if possible :) - Rated 5 out of 5by HedgehogInTheCPP, 2 years ago
