The problem with Instagram profile pictures
When you try to view someone’s profile picture on Instagram, you might right-click on it and select “Open image in new tab”.
However, the image that opens is only a small thumbnail, not the full-resolution profile picture.
Viewing full-size profile pictures
Enhanced Image Viewer solves this issue. With the extension installed, right-clicking on a profile picture and selecting “Open image in new tab” will display the full-resolution version.
The extension also gives you the option to view the image in the same tab using an overlay.
Simply close the overlay when you’re done viewing.
Looking for more Instagram improvements? Enhanced Image Viewer also enables you to save Instagram images and view them in a new tab.
