Open clicked medium (image, video, audio, svg, ...) in a new tab. This handles transparent elements covering images or images via CSS background-image.

Google Chrome: SVG and Canvas support isn't that good. It opens the image a new tab alright, but you need to use my provided save-button for saving. Ctrl+S does not work for that. This is because you can't open a data-URL via window.open() in Chrome and so I open a blank page and write some HTML to it that displays the image and a save-button.

Update: I found websites that set pointer-events: none on images which means that document.elementFromPoint() doesn't work. Therefore I wrote some JavaScript logic that traverses the whole DOM tree evaluating things like the bounding client rect, and styles like overflow, position, z-index, display, visibility, and opacity manually (while ignoring pointer-events). It works on the pages I tried it, but there is the chance my ad-hoc JavaScript might not evaluate everything correctly per specification.

Update: Handle <img srcset="..."> and <picture> elements (with <source srcset="..."> children). I don't evaluate media selectors or do anything complex. I mainly just guess what source to use.

Update: Handle SVG <image href="..."> elements.

Update: Prefer parsing of img.srcset and picking the biggest image over using img.currentSrc and img.src.

Update: Always assume hit body and documentElement, because sometimes somehow hit test on that fails.
