Description from store

This is a tiny extension that reverts Chrome’s image viewer back to how it was before Chrome 56: No more stupid black background and centered image.

Update for version 0.0.2:
- Local files now work
- All image files should work, regardless of file extension

Jose Landin 2023-09-04: Extension worked well before, but currently is in need of an update to the manifest file to continue functionality.

. 2021-12-21: No longer works. I've used this using Linux and Vivaldi but it no longer responds. I don't mind the centered image but loathe (perhaps an understatement) the black background. I now use the "Getting Started Example" @ https://storage.googleapis.com/web-dev-uploads/file/WlD8wC6g8khYWPJUsQceQkhXSlv1/SVxMBoc5P3f6YV3O7Xbu.zip. I modified the color to white and it works well but I have to click a button to produce the background. I realize there are people with bigger problems than having to click a button, but I prefer the automatic nature of uncenterer

David H (Clonkex) 2020-11-23: EDIT 23/11/2020: Stopped working with Chrome 87 :( Thank you so much for this! It's completely stupid displaying the images centred on a black background. I use Chrome for work (web dev) and I need to be able to just view the images like a normal person instead of that dumb arty centring nonsense.

Nes370 2018-10-02: This extension only seems to work when the image is opened to 100% zoom, any other setting and it reverts to the black background and centered format. I'm not sure if this is due to an incompatibility with another extension I've got or if it's due to a Chrome update.

Conker Macbeth 2017-12-10: Thank you so much! I've been wanting to bring back the old image tab setting for a while now but kept forgetting about it until now. This takes me back!

PurpleHaze09 2017-10-19: Loved it up until today when it stopped working. Chrome also just updated, so hopefully this app will be updated soon too.

P O 2017-07-15: Does exactly what it says it does. Thank you so much, 5 stars. The option for it to also work with local files should be more clearly labelled in the options though - and a mention of it should be made on the main webstore page too, since this is easy to miss. Thanks !

Rhyme 2017-06-15: I like having the images back in the left upper corner, but I wish it removed the ugly checker background from the transparent images as well.

Oviraptor 2017-03-19: Works like a charm! At first I was a bit disappointed because it did take away the black background but the image was still centered.Then I realized the Pinterest extension is what was centering the image. It would be great if I didn't have to disable the Pinterest extension for this to work 100% but hey, I'd rather disable Pinterest than have all images centered on a black background. Totally recommend it!

Adrian Hawkins 2017-03-15: The extension removes the black background, but will not uncenter the image. EDIT: Just figured out that the Pinterest extension is the cause of the image not uncentering. When disabled, the image uncenters like it should.

Tristan Wemm 2017-03-03: Good, but doesn't always work fully. Some domains like Imgur work properly, but others like Tumblr will have the image re-center itself (though with a white border).
