Description

Experiencing slow response when viewing a page with many images? Click the icon and redraw IMG elements using HTML5 Canvas forcing GPU to handle the work.

NOTE:
This extension was something I wrote as a practice when I was a college student. As of today, it would be surprising to me if Chrome does not handle simple image rendering efficiently, so chances are that this extension is simply useless. The extension and its repository (https://github.com/clydeli/Img_on_Canvas) are kept alive just for reference.

Release Notes:
1. Both the FPS and GPU memory usage would increase for sure. But the memory usage of the page may also increase (sometimes the increase is temporary).
2. The original IMG elements are not removed in the current version, they are just hidden. This is for some future development purpose. (Don't worry, the memory usage does not seem to have major increase because of this)

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
