Disables Reddit's image view page, allowing image files to be viewed directly

Reddit Image Opener
Description from store

When navigating to an image file on Reddit, like when right-clicking an image and selecting “Open image in new tab”, Reddit displays the image within its image view page. Disabling this page allows the image to be viewed independently, without the surrounding Reddit interface.

Source code: https://github.com/denarnold/Reddit-Image-Opener

* In earlier versions of this extension, there was an 'Open Image' button that provided convenient access to the source images of posts. However, due to constraints imposed by Reddit's redesign in 2024, this feature is no longer available.

Works like it should, you can now simply open images.
Dan Rouse
Does what it says on the tin.

Stopped working. I've had it for a while and it always worked but it stopped working about a month or so ago. It used to open the image in a new tab and that image could be zoomed. Now, it opens in the same tab and doesn't zoom properly, same as not having the extension at all. 5 stars when it worked but now 1 star.

Thank you friend, you are a lifesaver as I was going insane!
Clayton Smith
Worked perfectly. Whoever at Reddit thought the change would be useful has never actually used Reddit. I can finally zoom in on images again.

works well. looking at the code, seems to work efficiently, since it works on the network request level and does not change things on web pages through a content script.
