Description from store
Adds a new menu item to web pages - "open background image in new tab". Will try to find the closest element to the clicked area that has a background image.
Tries to mirror Chrome's own "open image in new tab"-functionality, but currently there seems to be no way in Chrome extensions to show a context menu item based on the return value of a function, so currently it is always shown, regardless of the presence of a background image.
This extension is open-source and MIT-licensed. Source code can be found at https://github.com/rexxars/view-background-image - contributions are welcome.

- (2023-10-09) Rondo Longo: Perfect. Right-click on any image on a website and choose "Open background image in a new tab." A new tab opens with the full graphic just as advertised. If your image DOES NOT OPEN in a new tab it is not because this "View background image" extension DOES NOT WORK! It is because you are trying to right-click and open an image that has an overlay on top of it. Most overlays are invisible and may link to some other website. This "View background image" extension works in the latest version of Chrome. Before "View background image" extension works you MUST CLOSE and re-OPEN Chrome!

- (2022-02-11) Stepan Semchyonok (semchs3000): редковато работает 🤬 но значок стильный
- (2021-05-05) Acroth Dlar: Does not seem to work. I tried reloading the tabs, and restarting Chrome. Tried with several websites.
- (2020-10-26) Laura Timmel: I've tried a few similar extensions, and so far this is the best one. The other extensions will in some cases open multiple background images from the page (each in a separate tab), whereas this one opens only the image I'm pointing to. As a bonus, this extension is TINY!

- (2020-06-29) Bob Loucks: Yes, it works PERFECTLY fine. Just reload any open existing tabs people before you go writing that it doesn't work. Perhaps less quick to say things don't work without putting in the least bit of effort..

- (2018-01-12) 耿昌宇: Works fine after you restart chrome. Don't forget to restart chrome. Don't forget to restart chrome. Don't forget to restart chrome.
