# 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_element).

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.

## Install from Chrome Web Store or Firefox addons
