What it does

Blackr was developed to allow people to see the best quality photos without anything else while on Flickr. Blackr is a bookmarklet that you put into your browsers bookmarks bar and then when you are looking at a photo on Flickr you can click on the bookmarklet for the best photo experience. Blackr removes all of the features, comments, links, thumbnails, icons and animated awards and replaces them with a nice black background. So, with Blackr, you can take advantage of all the great features offered by Flickr and view your photos in an uncluttered environment. So, Blackr is nothing revolutionary but it will greatly enhance your Flickr experience and allow you to see photos as they were originally intended to be seen.

In their own words

"flickr.com is a great way to share photos with friends and family. And there are many talented photographers who post their art to flickr for all the world to enjoy. But usually the photos will not look their best on flickr with all its nifty features and comments and links and thumbnails and icons and animated awards. Enter blackr. blackr is a bookmarklet you can put in your browser's bookmarks bar. Later, when you are on a photo page or one of the "All sizes" pages on flickr, you can click the bookmarklet and it will hide everything on the page behind a soothing black canvas except for the photo. All that remains is the picture. Optionally you get a white border around the photo."
