- Rated 5 out of 5by IQman, 24 days agoShould be preinstalled when installing firefox, just like transparent-standalone-image, and Ublock Origin

- Rated 5 out of 5by nyanpasu64, a year agoSupports fractional screen scale factors properly. When my screen is scaled to 125% (5/4), it properly enables nearest scaling at 160% page zoom (8/5) or pixel scale factor 8/4, rather than 200%.

- Rated 5 out of 5by vadimm, 3 years agoОтличное расширение! Купив 4К монитор и выставив масштаб 200% в системе заметил, что множество сайтов не имеют изображений достаточного размера и при масшитабировании они превращаются в черезчур размытые. Это расширение даёт возможность выбора как будут выглядеть мелкие изображения при масштабировании - со ступеньками, но чёткие, или сглаженные и размытые.
- Rated 5 out of 5by derpherp, 4 years agoI use this to read webtoons at 200% zoom. Great improvement over default.

- Rated 5 out of 5by RNS::, 5 years agoGreat on a 4K display with 200% scale set in Windows 10. Images get sharp just like they were in full HD.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Psythik, 6 years agoAn absolute lifesaver for those of us with 4K displays living in a 1080p world. Eliminates the annoying bilinear filtering that Firefox uses to scale low res images to fit high res screens, making everything look so much sharper and clearer for those of us with more pixels to spare than your average web surfer. Even works on YouTube videos. If you're one of the few that have moved beyond Full HD, then this is a must-have extension until the internet finally catches up with modern screen resolutions and makes high-res images more mainstream.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ree, 7 years agoNoticed sites like reddit was upscaling wrong. The icons were fuzzy becuase they don't have 'true' HiDPI support. This add-on fixed it by making it a true 4X resolution. Simply upscaled, no "interpolation" or blurryness to it. Perfection!

Developer response
posted 7 years agoA substantive comment instead of just rating would be appreciated. - Rated 5 out of 5by streetwolf, 7 years agoRunning at anything but 96dpi will guarantee getting blurry graphics on many if not most sites. 96dpi produces text that is way too small on Hi-DPI monitors not to mention it is a leftover from the CRT days.
SmartUpscale handles many low resolution graphics on web pages so I can now use Full Page Zoom on many sites.
What I would like to see, if possible, is the ability to set specific sites to use 'Disable blur' not just all sites. Some sites look great with this option, others not so much.
Of course the real solution for blurry graphics is Web Masters using DPI awareness and serve up the right resolution graphics for the users monitor. SVG graphics would also help.
