If I'm on Firefox, when I click a picture in a thread, it gives me a pop up where I can scroll right to see more photos from the thread, but on chrome pictures always open into a new tab instead. Is there a way to fix this? I have Adblock, which I don't need for this site (so I added byc to my exemption list), but the issue remains. I'd like some help figuring out how to fix it. Thank you!
 
This is what I am getting with Chrome version 75.0.3770.100:

Yeah, I think it's something browser related, the lightbox opens fine for me on Chrome 75 with Windows 10, but I also have a Chrome OS device that I'll test later.
 
They all opened in new tabs. It might be because I'm using a Chromebook (basically a glorified tablet). I might try instyalling the app and see what happens - it barely works on my phone, but it may do better on the chromebook
Do you have an actual computer you could try it on? I use chrome and it shows up properly for me on my laptop and desktop. (I think my phone does ok too, but that's safari)

I can try on the laptop I gave my mom. I also went to try installing the app on my chromebook, but I guess I can't? It isn't showing on the play store :idunno
