Hover Zoom+ is an open-source browser extension that enlarges images and videos to full size when you hover your mouse over them on supported websites. It is a privacy-respecting rewrite of the original HoverZoom extension, available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Use cases

• zoom images on hover while browsing
• view full-size images without clicking through
• preview product photos on shopping sites
• enlarge thumbnails on social media
• view videos inline on hover
• avoid malware-laden image zoom extensions

When to choose

• you frequently browse image-heavy sites like Facebook, Amazon, or Reddit and want instant full-size previews
• you want a privacy-respecting extension that collects no user data
• you need cross-browser support for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge

When to avoid

• you use a browser other than Chrome, Firefox, or Edge
• you need zooming on sites not covered by the extension's per-site plugins
• you prefer manual image viewing without hover-triggered popups
