View Background Image is a free Chrome extension developed by Espen Hovlandsdal. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension adds a convenient feature to web pages, allowing users to open the background image in a new tab.

With View Background Image, users can simply right-click on a web page and select the "open background image in new tab" option from the menu. The extension will attempt to find the closest element to the clicked area that has a background image and open it in a new tab.

Although View Background Image aims to mirror Chrome's own "open image in new tab" functionality, it currently lacks the ability to show a context menu item based on the return value of a function. As a result, the menu item is always shown, regardless of the presence of a background image.
