Open Original Images from Kinja Posts

Download extension

Opens photos posted to Gawker sites in a new tab at their original sizeThis extension enables you to view an image posted to a Kinja blog (Jalopnik, OppositeLock, io9, Gawker, etc.) in its originally uploaded size. To view an image's original size, you had to open it in a new tab and change the file name to "original.jpg." This extension streamlines that process.

To use:

Hover your cursor over an image, right click, and select "Open original size in new tab." The image will open in a new tab in its largest available size.

Note: Often, authors crop the leading images to the minimum size before publishing. This extension won't enable you to view such images at a larger size.
