The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Image Forward

Image Forward ============= A webextension to easily go through images embedded on or linked from a web page. Note for Chrome --------------- Keyboard shortcuts are not automatically set up. You need to do that manually on the extension page in settings. These are the default ones: - Abort cycling through images and go back to page of origin: Ctrl+Shift+B - Show first/next image embedded in page: Ctrl+Shift+Space - Show first/next image linked from page: Ctrl+Space Example ------- If you are on `page_one` that contains 3 images, you can press `Ctrl-Shift-Space` to load `image_one` as if you had right clicked it and chosen `View Image`. Press again and `image_two` is loaded (without having to go back to `page_one` and click on it), again and `image_three` is loaded. One more press will bring you back two `page_one`. At any time you could have pressed `Ctrl-Shift-B` to go straight back to `page_one`. Images are only loaded if they are bigger than what's configured in the add-on's options, otherwise they are skipped. A real example where you can do this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper. Similarly, if you are on `page_two` that links to a bunch of images, you can press `Ctrl-Space` to load first `image.jpg`, then `image.png` and then go back to `page_two`. The images that are loadable are determined by a regular expression that you can configure in the options. Add `tiff` to also load any tiff image or match any page that you want to load. An example where this works is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper which however contains links to pages instead of images. But if you are on a page that links to actual images you will see those. Due to conflicts, you can use `Alt-Shift-Space` and `Alt-Space` instead of the default shortcuts to load images on Mac and `Ctrl-Shift-X` to go back in Windows. Inspired by parts of Opera 12's Fast Forward. Feedback -------- You can report bugs or make feature requests on https://github.com/sblask/webextension-image-forward Patches are welcome.
