Chrome extension to find all images, background images and videos laying under the cursor.

Images Under Cursor

Chrome extension to find all images, background images and background videos laying under the cursor, whatever their depth or nesting in the DOM tree. This extension also supports extracting the current frame of canvas elements.

This is useful to circumvent the HTML, Javascript and CSS tricks some websites use to prevent the user from accessing the page assets — which is plain ridiculous, as there are accessible anyway.
