Review Summary
Barry's Image Zoom is praised for its simplicity and basic mouse wheel zoom functionality that works well for some users and is a better alternative to standard browser zoom. However, multiple reviews report it not working at all or only partially. Common complaints include zooming only from the top-left corner, lack of useful hotkeys or settings, poor compatibility with devices like Magic Mouse, and constrained zoom levels limiting image panning. While appreciated by some, many users find it outdated or insufficient compared to their expectations or alternate tools.
Pros
- Simple and effective image zoom functionality through mouse wheel.
- Works as described for some users without requiring excessive permissions.
- Better image zooming experience than using browser zoom shortcuts like Ctrl+.
- Ability to drag the zoomed image to view different parts.
- Superior and intuitive mouse wheel zoom compared to some other extensions.
Cons
- Does not work or fails to perform zoom for many users.
- Zoom focuses on top-left corner instead of cursor position.
- No additional controls or hotkeys for zooming, limiting usability for users without a mouse wheel.
- Not compatible with certain devices like Apple Magic Mouse causing gesture conflicts.
- Zoom is constrained within browser window instead of allowing larger zoomed image and free panning.
