The first installer available on the website, presented by the author, "ImageGlass Spider", is bundleware. From the privacy policy: "Also, the software shares available resources with the Spider's customers, to pass traffic through your device."The author is aware of the problem and indecisive on what action to take. Since less experienced users would fall for the "Spider" edition, be careful when downloading this software.

Finally! A multi-format image viewer for Windows that supports SVG.
I have only been using ImageGlass for a few days now, but I am already so happy with it. For a long time I have wanted a simple image viewer that supports scalable vector graphics along with other popular raster & vector formats. ImageGlass has been the only free answer for Windows so far. It has a simple interface for browsing images in a very familiar manner. It can be customized to open images in external editors. There are probably many more settings & configurations that I haven't yet explored. After I have had more time with it I will update my review. For now, it gets 5 stars.

Simple and easy to preview PNG images with transparency.
The author currently promotes a bundleware edition "ImageGlass Spider". The bundled software will "share resources" of your computer with business partners. First and foremost it will proxy traffic through your IP to help said business partners hide their tracks, whatever they do.
For less experienced users, the "Spider" edition is indistinguishable from the "Kobe" or "Moon" editions and can easily be mistaken for a new version with breaking changes prompting for a new name.
Misleading downloads, wants to "share" your computer's resources with business partners.
While Windows' default image viewer sucks, this piece of art provides magnificient UI and tons of options. 5/5
This is an Image Viewer AND Editor. Nothing wrong with that.. It's just that the current writeup is making it sound like just a lightweight viewer which is what I was hoping for. I will suggest an edit. Doesn't allow Ctrl Scroll for zooming in/out.
Fast, lightweight, beautiful, free and open-source and x64 compatible
