• (2025-07-02) Trent Roberts: Good stuff, sometimes it breaks ebay though.
• (2025-06-12) thomasthebear: One of the Best Extensions Around! To the Reviewer named Cecil H.Y., and Anyone Else Whom Thinks that a Button is Required to Activate This Extension: Go Into the Extension's Settings (Right-Click the Extension's Icon, Click "Options"), Then Go to the "Advanced" Tab and the First Setting Available is Titled "Activate HoverZoom+" which Allows You to Select a Key to Press to Activate the Extension. Set it to the Option Titled "None". Or Even Better Yet, Just Click the Extension's Icon and a Keybinding Menu will Pop-up Allowing You to Change the Activation Method of All of the Features Offered. If the "Activate HoverZoom+" Option being changed doesn't Solve the Problem, Change the Option "Toggle HoverZoom+" to "None" as well and the Problem should be Solved...
• (2025-06-05) Cecil H.Y.: Why do I have to hold down a button to do the only thing I downloaded the extension to do? I just want to zoom in on images and keep them zoomed in.
• (2025-05-27) Jiyon John Lee: 1. I usually find myself too lazy to write reviews on Chrome extensions, but my personal rating for this plugin goes through the goddamn roof! 2. You really need to familiarize yourself with all the options to get the best out of it. EDIT: An option to export/import settings has been implemented. Thank you!
• (2025-05-23) FazZ (EviLFazZ): Years on and still does not work with DuckDuckGo's Image search 😑
• (2025-05-04) P B: I wish when I hover in youtube video thumbnail it can also work there. but it only shows the thumbnail picture not video
• (2025-04-30) H.公子佳: It's good, but there's still room for improvement. However, since it's free, it's 5 stars.
• (2025-04-25) Pikabo Ward: Thank Heaven! I used this for a long time and was really bummed when it was disabled. I tried several other zoom extensions and NONE of them were a decent replacement. This is the easiest to use, most intuitive and doesn't interfere with things it should not. So happy it's back!
• (2025-04-23) dombaaa: Does not work on Instagram or am I missing something?
• (2025-04-17) It was okay until the recent Window 10 update. Which prompted Chrome to do an update as well. All extensions which have this type of feature to zoom images have been disabled by Chrome permanently. **Update Apr 17, 2025** Since Google revamped the Chrome store, this extension has gone through several changes since my first review back in March 23, 2018 - from working for me, to not working, then working again, then not working for each release or update. After awhile I moved to a different Extension and it worked fine (Imagus) but since the revamp it kinda works but not all the time.. With Imagus I'm finding some pages don't load the zoomed image properly. So I'm back - but the newest change I realized Hover Zoom+ could now load PDF thumbs from my Google Drive. But the site I once used it for, is back to being "not working" again. So I guess I need to wait for a patch or re-release to have it working. The site uses large page thumbs and when clicked open each image in a darkened page pop-up. But now instead of opening, hovering the mouse on the image has it show the max size of the thumb but within the default frame instead of a pop-up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• (2025-04-09) Sebastian ,Espinosa: Works on reddit,so far so good
• (2025-04-01) Gil D: The option to import settings does not work. Please fix this, every time reinstall has to set up again.
• (2025-03-27) hunterjohn1999: Recent permission request to be able to read and change all data on my pages is not to my liking, I will be trying photoshow and will not be coming back to this extension unless changes are made.
• (2025-03-25) Rob Levin: If you're concerned about the newly requested "Mange downloads" permission, the author has provided an explanation here: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/issues/1584#issuecomment-2745340545
• (2025-03-24) Helal A: HALLELUJAH, WE'RE BACK BABYYYYYY
• (2025-03-22) AG Moyer: As others have said, recent change has forced me to stop using this extension. I'd suggest others to look into PhotoShow or other similar extensions.
• (2025-03-22) HoLyzPiNoyZ: Anyone know whats the deal with the new permission required? Is this still safe?
• (2025-03-22) İrfan Özdemir: I have been using this extension for years, but i didn't like the last update about permissions. Why do you need a permission to manage my downloads? This extension already worked well until now without this permission.
• (2025-03-22) Jvr Jvr: According to you, you don't want to compromise users' data, but recently you have requested new permissions to handle this information. Read browsing history. Block content from any page. Manage downloads. Honestly, I don’t know why you would need this. It doesn’t help the extension at all; it only serves to collect more user data.
• (2025-03-20) Shiva CodeLab: After it got disabled, i created a chrome extension of my own PicZoomer 😅😅😅😅.
• (2025-03-19) Chris Knight: When this extension was disabled after Google turned off support for manifest 2, I finally realized how useful it was to me. Finally after the update, it is working again and it is wonderful.
• (2025-03-19) Andrés Andrade: This is the best chrome extension for images by far. It saves a lot of time, specially if you're constantly searching images and need to have a closer look without having to do any extra clicks. Glad to see it come back to the chrome web store.
• (2025-03-16) Salah Eddine Himeur: saves a lot of time when downloading photos , just great !
• (2025-03-13) David Stroe: I switched to PhotoShow as an alternative for Hover Zoom+
• (2025-03-13) Tom Ash: FYI THIS IS GETTING UPDATED FOR THE NEW CHROME, BUT IT'LL BE SLOW: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/issues/1564
• (2025-03-09) Jeff Merrick: I will abandon Chrome if this extension is disabled permanently.
• (2025-03-08) Wucash: Needs this back asap or time to switch browsers.
• (2025-03-08) Alex Szabó: This has been one of the most useful browser addons I've ever encountered. I hope it stays! Edit: I miss this addon so much!
• (2025-03-06) Taylor Burnett: An extension worth switching browsers for
• (2025-03-05) Dominions Club: Why did it get disabled ? Best extension ever
• (2025-03-04) Burak Cezairli: Please update it
• (2025-03-04) Paolo Agnolet: Prima funzionava molto bene mentre ora, soprattutto su facebook, non riesce più ad ingrandire le foto, avrei anche dato 5 stelle piene, ma non va più bene come prima. Dopo 8 anni modifico la recensione aggiungendo una stella perchè solitamente funziona molto bene anche se non dappertutto. Speriamo che venga aggiornata altrimenti come già avverte Crome smetterà di funzionare. Dopo anni di onorato servizio, nonostante sembra sia stata aggiornata il 25 febbraio 2025, oggi chrome l'ha disattivata. Speriamo in un aggiornamento che risolva.
