This is undoubtedly a really useful and effective extension. I use it all the time...particularly when I search in ebay for vintage wrist watches which I collect. For that alone HoverSee makes life far far easier, faster and enjoyable. And that's only one of it tons of uses! My only question about this great "gadget" is while it will enlarge a photo in Pinterest, it is obscured by some proprietary Pinterest over photo that obscures the photo and is of no use at all. Is there a way to bypass that and use HoverSee in Pinterest?

What everyone else below has said. If you zooming in is useful to for whatever reason, get this! And the price unbeatable. That someone would author a tool so useful and not even charge the token $0.99 is, well, a nice thing to do!

Great extension, constantly updated. There's only one more feature I miss, it's a "true maximize" setting, I mean the ability to scale the zoomed image to the size of the screen, not necessary full screen, but for small images to expand to the height of the screen, not only to the maximum size of the picture. Until recently, I was able to do something similar with Centerimages, a great extension too, which is not as regularly updated as HoverZoom is, unfortunately, and is currently not working anymore in 10.9.5. Thanks. :-)

Thanks for adding the zoom-hiding hotkey! With that, plus the tip you gave me in April about the maximize hotkey, HoverZoom now does everything I need it to do! Accordingly, I have bumped my review up to a full 5 stars. I can't say it often enough: developers who are responsive to their users' needs are awesome. Now that HoverZoom is perfect ;-) , let me put a bug in your ear for something that might make it even more perfect. Currently, you can set HZ to zoom only while a hotkey is pressed OR zoom unless a hotkey is pressed. Would it be difficult to add the ability to have whatever default one has chosen be reversed on a particular site? For instance, suppose I have it set to always zoom on hover, and hide the zoom when I press Command. What I'm asking about would let me set HZ to reverse it for, say, google.com, so that on that domain, the zoom would be hidden unless I pressed Command, but on other domains it would still zoom unless I pressed Command. I don't know how difficult that would be to add. But I'd be willing to pay for that additional feature. Even without it, though, HoverZoom is still pretty much perfect, and I will continue to sing its praises and recommend it everywhere.
