- No longer works on google chrome as of 11/9/2025. even after updating chrome to newest version and updating all my extensions, it still doesn't work. clicking on an image would cause my webpage to scroll down a little, it won't open that image.

- For people reading reviews to see if it works again, As much as I wish I knew about this extension while it lasted, there's no hope for it to come back anytime soon, the last signs of life we've seen from the dev was nearly a year ago at this point, their reddit account is deleted, there's been no signs of life from the developer of this extension as much on the internet as much as I can see as of recent, and it's been broken for a month or few by now.
- Forever Thatter
- What a lame fkn joke, broken and not updated since June 2024. And not a peep from the dev.
- Kip Jolly
- Used to be absolutely fantastic, but no longer functions at all, when it first broke it wouldn't enlarge images but now the image page no longer loads images at all
- Sol Ramos
- No longer works. When clicking on an image, it just scrolls the page down without showing the image.
- Atmos A
- [Browser: Edge] Works smoothly. Only negative I can think of is how a regular Left-Click opens and switches to the new tab right at the end of the tab list. And middle-mouse button clicks open the image's webpage as it would with default Google behavior. [5 mins later] Spoke too soon. Not working at all anymore. Just shifts the page as if it opened the classic style drop-down without doing so.
- Alison G
- no longer works
- Jordan
- It no longer works.
- Matt Mitchell
- loved initially, having issues. Now I cant click an image to view. It just blinks and scrolls me down half the page.
- Molly Whuppie
- 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.

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

- 卢萧予
- That's a very good extension! But it didn't shown the full and related images while click on images
- ADE MarcDesign (ADE)
- 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.
- Kimmy O'Connell
- 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.
- Vadim Belik-Gorbach
- IT STOPPED WORKING... Amazing extension, thank you so much!!!!... It is a life saver - I hope it can be restored once again...
- joonipar mc xeno
- Amazing that the wonderful monopoly keeps destroying their products and forces geniuses to fix their shiftshow refrain.
- Kaos Ærgod
- Broken and no longer works, in either firefox or chrome
- Gaurav
- 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
- Chrome Y2K
- 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
