This extension is fantastic. I can't express how much this has improved my browsing experience.

The best new chrome tab extension ever! Have loved this extension for a few years and have installed it on my different chrome profiles. Love ALL the features provided, with me using the favourites one the most to come back to the favs pics. One suggestion/feedback: I would love it if you could significantly increase the amount of pics u can save. I have already hit the max at 57! If that's not possible, at least give me some neat ability to download all the images in a zip file with each image named with the caption and the date? (A simple text file that keeps record of all the data, mainly the image's caption and it's date, would be appreciated too). Otherwise, awesome job! Thank you for this. Love it :)
