Clean Image Opener is a simple add-on that helps you open the original version of an image - without all the extra stuff added to the URL. Right-click on any image and choose Open in new tab (without parameters) to strip out query strings that may cause compression, format changes, or tracking.
For example, it turns a link like:
https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/165bfff2-1b34-41b0-b094-026186e6b0ba.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256
into:
https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/165bfff2-1b34-41b0-b094-026186e6b0ba.jpeg
This often results in higher-quality or original-format images - just one right-click away.
For example:
*
https://example.com/image.jpg?format=webp&thumbnail=256get's converted into:
*
https://example.com/image.jpgusually resulting in a larger or better version of the original image.
