PageExpand

Sometimes, you may stumble upon webpages that have microscopic thumbnails or images, which forces you to zoom in on the page or click the specific element to enlarge it. If you are tired of continuously trying to zoom in on tiny images on your favorite pages, you might want to give PageExpand a try. This add-on provides a decent zoom level for graphic elements embedded into any webpage, but it can also execute a plethora of various tasks like downloading images and expanding URLs, video/audio players, and more.

The extension starts working as soon as it is installed. It also has a small UI accessible through the add-on menu shortcut that provides a quick batch download feature for all images present on a page. While this feature can be helpful with large pictures, it can also be useful when snagging icons and low-resolution images. The images are condensed within a ZIP archive, and each element is placed into a different folder, depending on its characteristics.

PageExpand comes with a bulletin board system feature that lets you connect to a handful of sites directly from the add-on's settings. The supported domains are 5ch.net, machi.to, bbspink.com, jbbs.livedoor.jp, logsoku.com, mimizun.com, 2chan.net, 4chan.org, 8chan.co, reddit.com, dic.nicovideo.jp, and open2ch.net.

The BBS function allows you to see a URL's response number and ID if the cursor hovers over it. Also, the add-on is capable to change some URLs into downloading links, but not for all the supported sites.

To sum it up, PageExpand is an interesting Opera extension that expands pictures and URLs just by hovering the mouse over them. It can be of great help to users who have trouble seeing small embedded images or those who wish to download every graphic element on a page.
