Missing Features

Sad but true, there are some missing features...

This extension is slick and actually amazing, I can't believe you have lived without it all these years!

However, there are some feature that are missing:

• ❌ Do not work for base64 images, this is a browser limitation...
• ❌ There are no options, you cannot configure the extension... sad...
• ❌ No 1:1 ratio, there is no way to display the image at its 1 to 1 ratio...
• ❌ You cannot get rid of the blurry background... in case you have missed the point 2...
