What’s new in version 1.0.3?

                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!
