Power Zoom Alternatives
Power Zoom is described as 'The brand new extension for Google Chrome to view larger images on any website automatically across the Web. Why click a photo and then have to wait for it to load in the new tab or page just to see it larger?' and is an app in the web browsers category. There are nine alternatives to Power Zoom for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Google Chrome and Firefox apps. The best Power Zoom alternative is Imagus, which is free. Other great apps like Power Zoom are Hover Zoom+, Thumbnail Zoom Plus, Hover Zoom and Image Preview (Chrome extension).
The extension is intended to complement image features that (I think) is missing from Opera by default or give features that are just simply useful.
