About this project

X.com Enhanced Gallery opens media from an X.com post in a dedicated, keyboard-friendly viewer instead of the default lightbox. It is distributed in two forms: a userscript for Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, and unpacked developer builds for Chrome/Edge/Brave and Firefox. Features listed in the README: - Vertical gallery covering images, videos, GIFs and supported card media - Original-quality single downloads plus bulk ZIP downloads - Keyboard, pointer and wheel navigation, aimed at desktop browsers - Image fit modes: original, width, height and container - Persistent theme, language, playback and gallery settings - No project analytics, telemetry or developer-operated server Installation: the userscript is installed from the latest release asset and checks for updates via metadata URLs in its header. The Chromium build is an unpacked developer build loaded through chrome://extensions with Developer mode enabled, and it does not auto-update. The Firefox build is loaded as a temporary add-on via about:debugging and is removed when Firefox restarts; the README recommends the userscript for a persistent Firefox install. Usage: open a post with media, select an item to open the gallery, navigate with arrow keys, buttons or the wheel, then use the toolbar to change fit mode, download the current item, or download all media as a ZIP. The README states the gallery targets desktop browsers and offers no mobile/touch flow. Browser support table: userscript on Chrome/Edge 123+, Firefox 128+ and Safari 17.5+; Chromium extension on current desktop Chrome, Edge and Brave developer mode; Firefox extension on Firefox 128+ temporary developer installation. The userscript floor is defined in tooling/vite/browser-support.ts and the Firefox minimum in extension/manifest.firefox.json. Privacy: processing happens in the browser, with runtime requests limited to the X/Twitter pages, APIs and media hosts needed for extraction and downloads. Separate PRIVACY.md and security policy files are referenced. The README notes development is done with assistance from AI tools, and the project is MIT licensed with third-party licenses bundled.
