On desktop Hover Zoom is life changing way to browse memes and gifs. One thing I struggled with when I moved to Lemmy was Hover Zoom support. While it worked with imgur links, these are few and far between. I had given up hope when I finally discovered Imagus works perfectly.
Does anyone know why Imagus isn’t working for me with lemmy? If the popup appears on lemmy, the image is too small. I’ve had this extension for years with no issues and had just figured it’s not compatible with this site.
Imagus is a browser extension for Firefox that allows users to enlarge images and display images/videos from links with a simple mouse-over. It is similar to the Hover Zoom extension, which is a popular tool for browsing memes and gifs on desktop. However, Hover Zoom has been flagged as spyware, so users may want to consider using Imagus instead. Imagus works with a wider range of links than Hover Zoom, including those from imgur. The extension also has customizable settings, including an expandable set of rules for getting larger images, media, or other content.
I thought that was imagus lol but i dont keep up since i mainly browse through apps
Edit: looks like imagus had malware only on the chrome/edge store aince it was uploded by a malicious user and hover zoom had malware and ads introduced but someone made a fork called hover zoom+ thats open source and safe
My understanding is that it is that it has a list of sites it knows how to work with like reddit and imgur and for others it does not try to zoom. Images Ihosted on Lemmy fail to trigger the zoom.
