BetterViewer — A chrome extension for better image viewing experience

Hi everyone!

After many cups of coffee and many more hours of hard work, I launched my free Open source Chrome extension: BetterViewer

BetterViewer makes image viewing faster, easier, and more fun.

BetterViewer was designed as a replacement for the image viewing mode built into Chrome-based web browsers.

With BetterViewer you can use various keyboard shortcuts to quickly pan, zoom images, edit and a lot more!
