(2023-10-26) Gary theGreat: Very simple and easy to use. Just click the toolbar icon and move the magnifying glass around to wherever you want it. The only thing that could make this better would be if I could snap a pic of what I have zoomed into,
(2023-05-27) Sandor Kis: You can add your shortcut key, your zoom rating, all you have to do is to use it!
(2023-05-10) Alex Boyko: It works with a resized window!
(2023-03-25) dextremao: Thanks, this program helped me a lot I wish it didn't close when I scrolled the mouse.
(2023-03-04) y cho: FEATURE: Thks for this super cool extension. I want to use it for LIVE Youtube video presentation. Lots of time you need quick and easy zoom in a field. To make it work for LIVE youtubers we would need: 1) A rectangular lens 2) A keyboard shortcut to activate and deactivate 3) Have an optional mode to Keep it open even on mouse click ( and have the "activate button "in 2 deactivate on second key press ) Thanks
(2023-01-22) kw_27: awesome. I sometimes read japanese comics on my pc but often some kanji are too small to see from so far away and this is a better fix than having to lean in all the way lol
(2023-01-13) Wendy Williams: I have low vision and use this every day!
(2022-10-22) Hossam: Easy to use
(2022-09-23) 阿里云: 爱死了！一直都在用图片放大，怎么早没想到呢！
(2022-08-25) Adam's Channel: Все работает
(2022-07-14) Hamid: Great! It's just need a mouse or keyboard shortcut button. I like middle mouse button for that.
(2022-07-06) Glenn Worthman: Excellent. Requires no special permissions or site access, is less than 1 MB. You can zoom in first using command-+ a few times, then use the magnifier to really zoom in big time.
(2022-03-22) David Atudori: Does it have a hotkey shortcut?
(2022-03-01) Nikki Volodin: This is probably one of the better magnifying glasses to use on the the web especially on a Chromebook. However it would be so much easier to use if the mouse pointer was at the end or around end of the circle. Having it in the middle, makes it difficult to direct and see where your pointing it off too and makes it difficult to "steer". Also usually we read paragraphs, and their in rectangular form, so changing the magnifier to a rectangle or square would be so much more convenient for reading purposes.
(2022-02-13) Pat MySecret: Does what is expected in a simple way, but I wish I could find something that would bring more clarity to the magnified text.
(2022-01-01) Mig Mi: 非常好用的插件，感谢作者！

(2021-10-17) Ike Ikie: Pretty Cool.........!
(2021-08-08) Dipen “UMR” Kayastha: I would say this is a wonderfull extention but the bad thing about this is in full screen u can really use it there should be a button that allows you yo use it in full screen
(2021-05-12) Peter N. Hrebicek: Best extension ever! Wonderfully programmed. Well done, thanks!
(2021-01-10) Minh Tri: It doesn't need to read the page or anything and it works.
(2021-01-02) Forgotten Translation: Justo lo que estaba buscando. Funciona muy bien.
(2020-12-09) Cédric Sütterlin: Works fine. A shortcut would be nice!
(2020-11-14) john butler: Doesn't work, I click the magnifying glass and a pop up box appears saying "s zoom"
(2020-08-27) Marvin Gage: No button will show in my toolbar so not working in latest Chrome for me.
(2020-02-01) M. Can KAYA: Kullanışlı ve sade bir büyüteç. Mouse ile gezdiğiniz alanı ayarladığınız oranda büyütüyor. x3 oranında kullanıyorum. Teşekkürler.
(2019-10-19) Kevin Howard: Very useful for reading road names and numbers in google maps.
(2019-07-16) Isabella Ghassemi-Smith: Works for me !
(2019-06-25) Hào Nguyễn Đức: It would be great if it did not pixelate. Try scanning the Html therefore display as text
(2019-06-18) Frank C: I tried 3 other extensions. Couldn't get them to work or work consistently. THIS ONE is pure simplicity. One click on the icon starts it, and it follows the cursor. One more click and it goes away. The degree of magnification and the size of the "glass" are user adjustable. I'm using it on an Ace devise running ChromeBook.
(2018-09-18) Fotis Theo: very easy to use it and helpful
(2018-08-16) Игорь Федосеев: Отлично, работает везде, небольшая потеря качества. НО это то что я искал. Спасибо
(2018-06-07) Ivan Fedorusov: Картинка внутри лупы плохого качества. Не увеличивает в live режиме, например видео на youtube.
(2018-03-23) Martin B.K: Works great! But not in Gallery, no fullscreen and flickering...
(2018-03-17) Vince Aggrippino: Some pages are not well designed for the browser's built-in zoom functionality. This allows me to see those small details and small fonts more easily.
(2018-03-03) Advaitha Vemuri: It is showing your view bigger in a helpful way!
