Safari Extensions - Facebook Photo Zoom

About Web Browsers Summary

Facebook Photo Zoom is a Safari extension that magnifies most Facebook photos whenever the mouse cursor is hovered over them. This includes profile photos, pictures within photo albums, and more. An icon, placed adjacent to your Facebook Chat bar, can be used to toggle this extension off and on. A keyboard shortcut can be utilized in place of this icon as well.

This extension offers a feature that I have always thought should have been integrated with Facebook itself. Facebook Photo Zoom takes up no valuable real estate and greatly improves the Facebook experience.

Publisher's Description

"Facebook Photo Zoom is a simple extension that integrates directly into Facebook. Just hover over an image — like a profile picture or a photo in an album — and Facebook Photo Zoom enlarges it for you."
