User reviews
The extension generally works well, but the “View Image” button doesn't appear for images hosted on sites such as Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn.
Additionally, the button regularly fails to show up on the first click, requiring you to select another image and then return to the original image to see it appear.
I hope the developer can resolve these issues in future updates.
