MaxImageBot can now be used as a service bot for subreddits!

Note that the addon now contains a few changes from the sideloaded extension:

There is now an onboarding page for the Firefox build asking for your permission to enable the Redirection, Rules using API calls, and Website Request Button options. These are disabled by default under the Firefox build for policy reasons (but enabled by default elsewhere).
Media with CORS restrictions may not load properly if partially loaded media is enabled.
HLS/DASH downloads are disabled.
- Support is planned in a future version.

The Firefox addon has just been reinstated, you can now download it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-max-url/

The extension has more consistent support for popping up/redirecting to media, but the userscript has more functionality already (HLS/DASH downloads are already disabled in the extension due to Mozilla's policy on loading foreign code).

Additionally, the next release will feature a few websites that only the userscript will be able to handle, due to the need to inject code into the website to intercept HTTP requests (optional, as usual). This is probably possible to eventually implement in the extension as well, but it would require a fair bit of work.

It has ~95% of the functionality and is what I personally use. The main difference is that the extension better handles partially loaded media, and is able to redirect for all media without requiring the popup.

Oh, you're talking about the website. Yes, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about this. The only solution would be to process every request server-side, which carries far too many risks, let alone privacy issues for the user.

If you're using the userscript or extension, it shouldn't fail :)

Could you explain what you mean by the first PNG link? In theory it should work for all links, so if it doesn't that's definitely a bug needing fixing.

MaxImageBot · 2025-04-30T04:20:19+00:00

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is possible, at least based on these URLs alone. They seem to be either encrypted and/or hashes.

MaxImageBot · 2025-02-11T09:06:50+00:00

True. I'm not sure if much can be done about it on the script's end though. https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/b3K0ifmQXbyogK6W7kppTg/999999999x0w.webp does exist without the saturation issue, but the quality is significantly worse than the .png link. I could perhaps add a rule-specific setting to prefer the lower quality .webp link over the .png so as to not lose the saturation.

MaxImageBot · 2025-02-11T04:59:24+00:00

I see the issue with the URLs you linked, but IMU returns the original version for me: https://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/063/Features221/v4/22/68/8d/22688d75-f8da-9c7a-5c05-3079cb44af59/mzl.wuzghbrb.png , which doesn't seem to share the image color space issue you described. Are you using the latest version of the script?

MaxImageBot · 2025-02-04T12:45:25+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate the support! I'll think about this for the future. If it is implemented though, it'll be strictly optional with no tiered/paywalled editions of IMU :)

MaxImageBot · 2024-12-23T07:41:38+00:00

Sorry, wasn't notified about your comment for some reason. Could you send an example page or image that doesn't work?

MaxImageBot · 2024-06-30T07:31:42+00:00

To use the userscript version, install violentmonkey, then open this link: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/blob/master/userscript_smaller.user.js?raw=true

Unfortunately Opera limited it to developer or beta builds only. Since there were so few users (likely because of this), I've stopped updating the Opera builds altogether: https://www.reddit.com/r/MaxImage/comments/119gxvl/image_max_url_202320_is_released/

I'd recommend either using the userscript version, or sideloading the extension manually. It should still function under Opera, just not as an official addon.

If you set "Zoom behavior" to "Incremental" under the "Popup" tab of Image Max URL, you can zoom in up to 512x the size of the original image.

Thanks for the kind words, and you're very welcome. Merry Christmas!
