How it works

Are you bored of ending up with zillions of tabs opened while browsing /r/pics? If bandwidth consumption is not a problem then this script will make your life easier.

This user script adds a SHOW/HIDE link to entries with images attached that are preloaded and ready to watch on-site. You only need to click on SHOW to display the image. Click either HIDE or the image itself to make it disappear.

Take a look to the screenshots to see it in action. Bug reports are welcome.

Compatibility: Firefox (GreaseMonkey), Opera, Safari (GreaseKit).
