Adds a "open background image in new tab" menu item. Finds closest element to the clicked area that has a background image.

Adds a new menu item to web pages - "open background image in new tab". Will try to find the closest element to the clicked area that has a background image.

Tries to mirror Chrome's own "open image in new tab"-functionality, but currently there seems to be no way in Chrome extensions to show a context menu item based on the return value of a function, so currently it is always shown, regardless of the presence of a background image.

This extension is open-source and MIT-licensed. Source code can be found at https://github.com/rexxars/view-background-image - contributions are welcome.

Does not seem to work. I tried reloading the tabs, and restarting Chrome. Tried with several websites.

I've tried a few similar extensions, and so far this is the best one. The other extensions will in some cases open multiple background images from the page (each in a separate tab), whereas this one opens only the image I'm pointing to.

As a bonus, this extension is TINY!

Yes, it works PERFECTLY fine. Just reload any open existing tabs people before you go writing that it doesn't work. Perhaps less quick to say things don't work without putting in the least bit of effort..
