Its been somewhat broken for a months, but sadly, no longer works at all now. Dev has abandoned by the looks of it, no updates to the extension here on the webstore since June 2024, and the last update on the official site listed in the extension overview was in August 2024. Time to uninstall.

Hasn't worked in two weeks now. I tried emailing the developer, but he hasn't responded. Maybe he is busy or didn't check his email? The internet isn't worth searching without this extension. Hopefully he will fix it soon.

No longer working for me. Just causes the page to scroll down when clicking on image results.

Day six, still nothing. I guess this time this is it! :'( I truly HATE the lateral image view. Dunno what the guys at Alphabet were thinking with that UI. It's such a bad image search experience. I'm at least getting the "View Image" extension to get that button back. It's not much, but better than nothing.

It was a 5-star, but it stopped working suddenly :( I wish Google would give us a proper preview pane again like it used to have. This extension was the next best thing.

Amazing that the wonderful monopoly keeps destroying their products and forces geniuses to fix their shiftshow refrain.

Broken and no longer works, in either firefox or chrome

Great extension that provided years of service but sadly broken by Googirl now. Don't give it 1 star just because it broke. Googirl broke it

Was amazing when it worked, unfortunately Google screwed it all up and it stopped working. I doubt it will get updated at all since the last update was back in 2024. Thanks to the developers for at least trying to give us a solution while they could.
Quinn Daniels
Sadly it finally broke on me today.. I don't want to install it since it's been wonderful to have. Looks like it was last updated in 2024, so hopefully it gets sorted out soon. For now, I'll just use a different search engine

Broken and in dire need of an update. Trying to click on an image result will instead scroll the page down.
Kerbonaut
Worked great until now, its broken and non-functional now. No image now pops up when clicked on normally, have to go to a tab that doesn't have this extension. Please fix soon.
Adrien Chan
currently not working. It will pop up an enlarged photo on the side of the 1st image search result.

Excellent extension but at the current moment is completely broken and unusable, hope it will get fixed.
Maverick Vogen
Same here, finally broke this morning. All the best in finding a fix!

Was working for years but as of last night it stopped, nothing comes up until I turn off the extension. Who in the world thought that pulling up images on the right was a good idea?
Niklas Sternberg
Stopped working today. Please update if possible. Google current image view.. no, just no.
