X Gallery View

X Gallery View turns your X (Twitter) timeline into a media-first gallery. Click the extension icon and the page flips into a clean grid of every image and video from the tweets you've loaded.
Click again to go back to the normal timeline.

FEATURES

• One-click toggle — Switch between the regular timeline and the gallery view from the toolbar icon.

• Images and videos in one grid — Photos and video thumbnails sit side-by-side in a responsive grid. Videos can play inline, right in the grid.

• Hover to preview videos — Hover any video to play it with sound. The clip pops out at its native aspect ratio so wide and tall videos display correctly. Move your mouse away and it returns
to the grid.

• Autoplay toggle — Choose Off or On for grid autoplay. Off is light on resources; On plays every visible video muted as you scroll. Your choice is remembered across sessions.

• Infinite scroll — As you scroll the gallery, the underlying timeline keeps loading more content, growing the grid.

• Works on the home timeline and profile feeds — anywhere X shows a tweet feed.

PRIVACY

X Gallery View does not collect, transmit, or share any data. Everything happens locally in your browser. Video streams come from X's own CDN — the same source the X website uses. Your
autoplay preference is stored locally via Chrome's storage API. Nothing leaves your machine.

PERMISSIONS

• Host access to x.com, twitter.com, and video.twimg.com — required to read media from your timeline and load video streams for inline playback.
• webRequest — used locally to observe the video stream URLs (.m3u8) that X's own player requests, so the gallery can replay them. URLs stay in memory and are never transmitted.
• storage — used to remember your autoplay preference between sessions.
