[bimg] is terrible and needs to be reworked. (Many large images here)

I will take a look at this and see if it's easy to fix.

We're currently pending an upgrade to XF 2.0, and fixes like this may have to wait until after that just to avoid wasted effort.
 
I didn't even know this existed. (Which might be an argument for "this doesn't really matter", though.)

The separate "view at original size" target would be nice for cases when I click on the image only to discover that the jerk who posted it made it into a link. Except that no-one uses this that I've ever seen.
 
Other problem:

I mostly browse on mobile, usually my phone sometimes my tablet. When someone posts an [img] that's too big for my viewport, it just gets resized down to something that fits and I can click it to expand. This is nice, because it lets me preview it and decide if it's worth expanding. With the current behavior of [bimg], if the image is too wide for my viewport for whatever reason, that's it I'm screwed. I can't even scroll sideways to view it, like I can an expanded [img]. My only option is to click to view it and let it shrink down to fit. There are several examples of this problem in the OP.

It would be nice if [bimg] shrunk images down to fit my screen, like [img] does.

(There's also the thing where the bimg viewer apparently gathers and shows all the images in a post, which could generate spoilers for some niche use-cases, but that's not as much of an obstacle.)
