Solved How to set global zoom to not affect direct images

Meulin

Howdy, I have my global zoom set to 120%, but images outside of webpages, direct image links, are affected by the zoom. I want to always see those at the original resolution and not scale them down every time.

There's an extension that can do this called Viewhance, but it's not on the playstore anymore for some reason, and the crx can't be installed because of a header error. However that worked in firefox, so I know it's a solution if i could get around that header error.

That is a great extension, I even helped to translate it once. You can install it in Vivaldi by changing the *.crx file extension to *.zip and unpacking the archive. Then head over to vivaldi://extensions/, turn on the Developer mode (upper right corner), select "Load unpacked extension", and choose the folder to which you unpacked your extension. You can turn off the Developer mode afterward.

@barbudo2005 While this does what I need, for regular webpages it resets the regular browser's zoom, as well as makes text look awkward. I just want direct images (urls that end in .jpg, .png, etc) to be at 100%, and websites to be at 120%.

@pafflick THANK YOU. I had 0 idea that i could just rename it to .zip to make it work. I was so excited i just dragged the .zip in and it just worked. Absolute legend, you are.
