Better way of looking through uploaded screenshots
So recently I've been getting much more into screenshotting, there's been an insanely huge increase in my screenshots in the past two or so months and I've managed to accumulate a relatively modest (compared to some people's collections I've seen) 1,367 screenshots.

I'm interested in looking back through my screenshots every now and then, but the actual mechanism for looking through them is annoying as all hell. The image wall viewing method is arguably better than the grid viewing method, I suppose, because some of the screenshots are large enough to see text in. Problems arise, though, with some screenshots being too small to see the text of and the fact that when you load further screenshots (since not all of them are displayed on one page), the page just breaks sometimes. With the amount of screenshots I have, it becomes impractical to a ridiculous degree where I will basically never be able to load all of my screenshots because they'll just stop loading at a certain point.

As for the grid viewing method, it's much, much more consistent with how it sets screenshots out with them being on a set of pages that you can click through but all of the screenshots are too small as opposed to most with the image wall method.

Now, I could waste an entire day of my life clicking on a screenshot, having it load for a few seconds, seeing it and then moving onto the next one but I'd rather not. So I'd like to know: is there a program, chrome extension, tampermonkey script or something to this effect that will allow me to more easily look through my uploaded screenshot? It can be something as simple as making screenshot thumbnails larger which will make the grid viewing method completely satisfactory for my needs. I'd prefer it to work with the steam app since that's what I overwhelmingly use, but I realise I can't really be picky in this situation.

TL;DR: Is there a way to more easily view uploaded screenshots than clicking through them on the app/website? Like a Chrome extension that makes screenshot thumbnails bigger, for instance.

Best thing to do is filter by game at the top. You can either search or select the games individually from the drop-down list. It will then only display screenshots attributed to what's selected.

You can view them in the screenshot folder and scroll through them a lot easier. I recently got in to screenshots too but only have around 50 so far.

Unfortunately, this isn't really what I'm looking for. I'm aware of this feature but it doesn't really help with viewing the actual screenshots themselves.

Hmmm, I know about this but as far as I know these screenshots are only temporary. Also, they include every single screenshot you took for that game recently. For one game, I have 2,578 screenshots, most of which are not uploaded because I don't like them, so whilst this is definitely a better way of viewing screenshots in general, it doesn't particularly help with uploaded screenshots, and it won't work in a few weeks when these screenshots are deleted from my HDD automatically. I do wish Steam would keep my uploaded screenshots, though, then I wouldn't have any problems because viewing screenshots through Windows is much, much easier both in speed and the ability to manipulate the screenshots (like their size, for instance).
