About this extension
Image Zoom - A powerful, highly customizable browser extension that gives you complete control over any image on the web.

🔍 KEY FEATURES:

• Mouse-Centered Zooming - Hold Ctrl (or Alt/Shift/Meta - your choice!) and scroll to zoom in and out. The zoom centers exactly where your cursor is pointing, just like professional image viewers.
• Double-Click Zoom Mode - NEW! Double-click any image to activate zoom mode, then scroll freely without holding any keys. Perfect for extended viewing sessions.
• Visual Zoom Indicator - Customizable marching ants border shows you exactly which images are active for zooming. Choose your own color, style, and width!
