Opera: Disable Auto Image Fit to Screen / Pictures Resizing

If you are not a fan of an automatic image fit to the window that was introduced in Opera 11.10, then don’t worry, there is a way to turn it off.

Unfortunately, you can’t do that via Opera Preferences or opera:config. However, there is an extension to solve your problem.

– Install Image Autosizer extension.
– Menu (Alt) > Extensions > Manage Extensions.
– Find Image Autosizer and click on the gear icon > Preferences.
– Seek for the gray bar that is titled “Advanced” and click on it.
– View modes > When image is larger than window: Enable default and Original (see picture below).
– Save changes.
