Open image on a new tab not working on WhatsApp Web #8

Open MasterGoodbytes opened 2 years ago

MasterGoodbytes commented 2 years ago

When i use the open image in a new tab in an image from the WhatsApp Web tab the image opens in the default browser's image viewer. The extensions seem to be working fine with the example image, on google images and in one other website that i tried, but in WhatsApp (That was the main place i wanted to use the extension) it's not working. I'm using Microsoft Edge.

@MasterGoodbytes WhatsApp shows images as "blob:https//"

As far as I know... Chrome extensions cannot read urls like blob and file ... etc.. That's why it's difficult to read these images...
