Thumbnail Zoom Plus 
love you extension, do you have one for google chrome?
I don’t have a version of Thumbnail Zoom Plus for the Google Chrome browser, but Hover Zoom (by another developer) for Google Chrome is good.
It may be good…but it’s not TZP…this ext is literally the only one keeping me from switching to Chrome fulltime.
I hope to make one soon for Google Chrome
Do you mean you’re trying to port Thumbnail Zoom Plus to Chrome?
Is ixquick image search to be supported anytime soon?
I hadn’t heard of ixquick before, but I’ll add it in the next release (2.4beta2).
Thank you very much.
as soon as i disable one site from the list thumbnail zoom plus stops working. i only want to use it on a few sites ,as it is a nuisance when scrolling through a forum and it starts zooming avatars and sigs.
Which site in particular do you find makes TZP stop working? There was a bug until recently that disabling Wikipedia would disable many of the other rules. That is fixed in the current beta (2.4beta2).
it was disabling any site in the list and ,others,
i got around the forum avatar and sig issue by unchecking “thumbnails”
i really like this add on ,but i would ask that for future releases that you incorporate the copying of image location so posting images in a forum doesnt need to save enlarged image and then uploading them.
thanks
You’re in luck: ‘Copy’ was added in version 2.4beta1.
In that version and newer, you can press ‘c’ to copy the image or ‘l’ (as in Location) to copy the image’s web location (URL).
Love this addon, can you add Etsy
Good suggestion; I’ll add etsy support in the next release (2.4rc1 and 2.4 official).
Thank you
VK.ru is the largest European social network with more than a 100 million active users.
Can you support this site in your new version, please?
Thank you anyway 🙂
Hello, supporting vk.com is a good suggestion; I’ve added it to my issue tracker so I don’t forget. https://github.com/dadler/thumbnail-zoom/issues/102 . Thanks.
Are there any reported issues on pinterest.com?
Yes, there is currently a problem with pinterest.com.
This is fixed in 2.4rc4. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/thumbnail-zoom-plus/versions/
hey . good extension. Planing compatible with wallbase.cc ?
I think I had looked into that one in the past and it wasn’t so easy (though possible if a lot of people want it).
Pinterest has not been working for me.
This is fixed in 2.4rc4. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/thumbnail-zoom-plus/versions/
Can you move Tumblr from the other’s catagory and place it on it’s own please, and can you also make a list of what sites are included in the “others” list?
Awesome addon, can you add theChive ?
Would support for *booru sites (like Danbooru) be possible? I really like the extension so far.
Tweets with images hosted at pic.twitter.com don’t seem to work for me. I think it might be because the URL is t.co when it’s in a tweet, but is actually uploaded to/hosted at pbs.twimg.com/media/
So, it looks like Twitter is using 3 different URLs when an image is tweeted. @_@
You should do this for Chrome! I have it on Aurora by Firefox and it’s great!! Thanks!
Hello. Can you add the ability to create the users rules? Such as in Opera extension Imagus (http://my.opera.com/Deathamns/blog/opera-extension-imagus)
why limundo.com not work anymore 😦 now I must use CoolPreviews extension.
(example: http://www.limundo.com/kupovina/Knjige/Knjizevnost/Klasicna-knjizevnost/NOVELE-GI-DE-MOPASAN/10223329)
Perhaps the site itself changed; the site seems to be doing something which prevents Thumbnail Zoom Plus from working on it, sorry.
Myway.com is a news portal/aggregator that I like a lot (simple, few ads, low overhead, customizable) and that I would love to see get the TZP treatment. If you could make that happen, I’d be a very happy camper! 🙂
I’ll add it to the next release!
And just like that, you’ve made me a happy camper! Thanks!
I’m running Windows 8 on a 64-bit computer and Thumbnail Zoom Plus won’t save enlarged images as enlarged images, only the same size as the original. Why is this? Is there a workaround?
I don’t know; I haven’t seen that happen. What’s an example web page URL where this happens? When you say “same size as the original”, do you mean the same size as the thumbnail? Or is it the size of the 100%-zoomed pop-up (as seen if you press the ‘0’ [zero] key while popped up)?
Thanks for your reply, David. It happens on any webpage and it saves in the same size as the enlarged picture when I click on the thumbnail, not the thumbnail itself, but I have it set to zoom at 200 percent in the preferences and I want the image to save at 200 percent which is what shows when I hover the pointer over the picture. I’ve been using the “Save Enlarged Image As” when right clicking but it only saves in the original image size, not the 200 percent size.
Ah, now I understand. The Save command is designed to save the image at exactly the same size as the full-resolution image on the web site, not the dispayed size. The additional size beyond 100% is just a zoom of the 100% image; there isn’t higher resolution data available.
You can get a similar effect to the 200% by zooming in when you view the saved image (e.g. by Control + if the viewing program supports that).
Thank you for clarifying David; – so I’m guessing that the resolution when I use Control + is going to be the same resolution as the software would display for the same size zoomed image, is that correct?
Yes, the quality you see after Control + in when viewing the saved image should be similar to what you see from Thumbnail Zoom Plus when it’s zoomed up e.g. to 200%.
Great software and a real time saver. Thanks!
Any plans on supporting livememe.com?
I find it being used often on reddit.
I’ll add it for the next release!
This is now available in 2.4.5beta1. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/thumbnail-zoom-plus/versions/
do u know of an add on in safari that does the same thing ?
thanks
I don’t know of a similar add-on for Safari. If it can run “userscripts”, “Mouseover Popup Image Viewer” on userscripts.org might work.
Your extension is great but there’s one thing that’s missing for me: I’d like some way to browse through all the pictures if I’m hovering over an imgur.com gallery.
You can see how the imagus extension (firefox/opera/chrome) handles it (hover over link with mouse and then use arrow keys)

It doesn’t work on 500px anymore 😦
Indeed, since they changed the site. I’m investigating how I can fix it.
Are you any closer to fixing this? It made user experience on 500px much much nicer!
It should be fixed in version 2.7 (released Dec. 30, 2013).
I would like to be able to exclude certain specific sites.
Basically a csv file or xml, or whatever works best.
I do not wish to disable the addon in order to browse certain sites, I do not want annoying pop up images occurring when I hover over their buttons.This would be much appreciated.
Version 3.0beta1 lets you exclude specific sites. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/thumbnail-zoom-plus/versions/
Just installed the 2.7beta1 . You, Sir, are awesome! You fixed it!
Thank you so much!!
It doesn’t work on 500px anymore. Can you fix it.
500px.com will be fixed in the next release (3.0beta4).
would love have this on my chrome 🙂
Hi. It works great on most of the sites that I go on. Can you add pic.twitter.com to the database? I can not view any of the posted pic links in twitter unless I use a preview link app. I have all of the options checked and still no pic preview in twitter.
Thanks for the head’s-up; I’ll look into it.
Awesome plugin, thanks for all the work! I’m just curious if it’s possible to whitelist reddit only? Basically I only want to hover on reddit, but since it’s part of “Others”, a lot of other sites also get picked up. Is this possible? Thanks 🙂
I’d like this too. I have a forever long blacklist because I leave others checked for Reddit to work and I don’t want images zoomed on every other website I visit.
any plans for a TZP for Safari? (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE). I installed hover zoom but it is inconsistent and nowhere near as good as TZP which I have for my Firefox browser.
thanks
Sorry, no plans for Safari. You might take a look at Imagus for Safari.
Hello, your extension used to work for instagram, not anymore. Can you fix?
Anybody else having recent problems with TZ & imger?
I use TZP mostly in the notification drop-down on Facebook. I get many pictures there and often all I need to see is the picture. I don’t need to click on the post. Having the zoom there is a great timesaver. TZP used to work on all of the thumbnails there. Now it only works on pics that someone has “added” and no longer on ones that have been “shared”. Can you do something to get TZP to work on all the thumbnails? And then please add TZP to Chrome. I have tried every one of the zooms available on Chrome and none will work in the notifications drop-down at all.
Is it possible to download the zoomed image by right click or some other option. It would be very useful.
Yes, press ‘s’ while the pop-up is displayed or after it’s displayed right-click and select “Save full-size image as”.
Hi. Do you have plans to add support for i.reddituploads.com? Great addon, btw. I can’t imagine using a browser without it.
Hello, Could you make this work with the Images section on DucduckGo?
Thanks
Hello David! Are there any plans for developing a version of TZP for the Opera web browser? Or there is one already? I have some trouble to find it using Google if that version is released already.
Thanks!
Sorry, I have no plans to make a version for the Opera browser.
Dont see eBay on your site list
Ebay isn’t in the site list, but should work (it’s controlled by the Others checkbox).
