First I need to say a massive THANK YOU to the @extesy

Describe the solution you'd like Add support for hovering over https://www.reddit.com/gallery/ links A large image should appear on hover

Additional context Current behaviour: Hovering over the thumbnail pops us a small preview. The link I am hovering over is: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/14z03vj

I'm just another user but do you happen to use Brave Browser? Weirdly I was experiencing the same thing. I disabled Shields, reloaded the page, re-enabled Shields, and now gallery zooming works fine across the site. Weird. Maybe some cookie error?

Update: The behavior OP was describing came back. But a quick removal and reinstallation of the extension seems to have fixed the issue now. Maybe some fluke in the extension update from Chrome store.

Edit: Spoke too soon. I'm seeing the same behavior again. Can't understand why this comes and goes like this. I'm using Brave's built-in adblock plus AdGuard, but disabling both still does OP's issue where only the single thumbnail is zoomed. I'll keep playing around I guess. Maybe I'll find something.

More info:

It seems to be happening on old.reddit.com since meanwhile new Reddit seems unaffected.

Example:

old.reddit.com

https://old.reddit.com/search?q=animals+url%3Agallery&restrict_sr=&sort=relevance&t=all Expect: gallery view to open Reality: the thumbnail itself is zoomed instead

new.reddit.com

https://new.reddit.com/search?q=animals%20url%3Agallery&restrict_sr=&sort=relevance&t=all Expect: gallery view to open Reality: it does

Old Reddit galleries will spontaneously work but I can't find a single cause. Tried: Adblock disabling, cookies refresh, Reddit settings changes, extension re-install. Some things seem to work for a while but revert back. Odd.

Update:

Just guessing, but it seems like it might be some kind of cookie issue?

I realized that my previous post is not 100% accurate. The behavior is only currently happening for me on www.reddit.com, NOT on old.reddit.com or new.reddit.com and again, it only happens sometimes. Currently I'd say about 60-70% of the time. My Reddit experience is set to default to the "old" style, so I get the "old" format on all www URLs.

It tends to happen on certain subs more
If I switch to either the "old" or "new" reddit subdomains, the extension works fine immediately
Refreshing doesn't help, but logging out and back in usually helps
on NSFW subs, when this behavior happens, visiting the post page itself always reveals that there is a gray shaded "Click to view NSFW content" overlay on the gallery. Once I click that, the extension works again on that page as normally expected

I guess as a workaround I will just manually use the old.reddit.com URLs.

I have the same issue - hovering works on old.* but not www.* and my preferences are also set to use old style

Same issue on Brave.

I did a little digging into debugging and it seems like this issue is due to reddit limiting requests. You'll end up with the calls for the gallery images getting a "429: TooManyRequests" response. I wonder if it could be due to the fact that it's pre-querying for all the gallery images on a page at once.
