  • (2025-06-14) Xavier: Works great, can you make it available on Microsoft Edge too?
  • (2025-04-24) Dr Krishnam Kumawat: Does the Job, and does it great!
  • (2025-04-10) Jonty K: Worked great! But sadly, seems as of today it's stopped working. Pictures don't even open anymore with this enabled :/
  • (2025-03-20) kendall henderson: fantastic. working fully as of writing this review. i forgot how good the old google images was. i can actually see the image i'm trying to look at.
  • (2025-03-19) Tutti Frutata: Really works on Microsoft Edge! (19/03/2025)
  • (2025-03-13) Micah Blanton: Dude, thank you so much! This was driving me nuts. Some things, we ignore because we think they're minor bugs that will be fixed soon, but these deliberate choices that ruin our digital experience are swept under the rug and forgotten about for years. I hate being reminded so frequently of how much better things used to be.
  • (2025-02-18) Wes Pryor: Yup they busted it again with their "upgrade"... Look forward when you can bring it back!
  • (2025-02-14) Nasir Djedi: Does its job, but prevents me from using the arrows to go through the suggested searches.
  • (2025-02-09) spookym 123: Been using it for years and it worked like a charm, but a few days ago it stopped working. The icon in the extensions bar is grayed out but the extension button is on. Got a message from Chrome web store saying that it may contain malware.
  • (2025-02-05) Mike K: Exactly
  • (2025-01-27) Maxens Wolfer: I still get Google Lens whatever I do. It's downright impossible to search an image by size now

  • (2025-01-03) Amelia McGill: Thank you so much for making this!!!! The default google images preview is AWFUL and I can't think of a single good reason they made it that way.
  • (2024-12-27) Jake Hildebrand: Would be amazing if it wasnt crashing google images
  • (2024-12-16) Molly Whuppie: extension no longer works due to Google's new search UI.

  • (2024-09-20) Eric B: Honestly thank god this exists. Thanks dude.
  • (2024-09-20) Michael Bell: one of the best extensions ever made. THANK YOU!!!
  • (2024-09-09) Andy Langusta: Oh my god, can't thank you enough, guys!!! <3 The default interface made by Google is absolutely horrible, - and I can't understand why - those people have all the money in the world, why can't they invest in normal user experience?
  • (2024-09-04) iMagma Hd: My eyes are no longer bleeding 10/10
  • (2024-09-03) James Walker: Generally speaking, this layout is much nicer as the images are usually bigger and it does not disrupt the order of images in the search results. Being able to hit download on the preview banner is a bonus, but it's the layout I like more than anything.
  • (2024-08-27) Scott Wilson: This restored functionality works great, but it looks like a recent updated has broken it. Hopefully it'll get updated soon.
  • (2024-08-23) Tristen Coughlin: The extension has worked fantastically for years, but it looks like one of Google's recent updates has broken it. I am unable to open images at all while I have this extension active. It is my sincerest hope that this extension is restored to it's former glory.
  • (2024-08-21) D R: The extension has stopped working for me. Hopefully it will be updated soon. Thank you for creating this extension. It typically functions properly and is very useful to me.
  • (2024-07-29) pest: As previously mentioned it works fantastic at doing what it says on the label but in addition to that, it also completely breaks google shopping functionality and I had to go through all my extensions one by one to figure out this was the cause. Hopefully there is some way to resolve this issue instead of having to continuously toggle this extension on and off.
  • (2024-07-20) Jamie J (Welsh Git): Makes Google Images useful again. Thanks!
  • (2024-07-16) Rhy nole: Works nicely. but....cripples Google Shopping search. Links do not open when this extension is active.
  • (2024-07-02) Joaquín González: I've used this extension for like 10 seconds and I already love it. Thanks to whoever made this, life is good again.
  • (2024-06-28) BosApollo: When using google shopping it does not let you open shopping links. This happens in both Chrome and Edge.
  • (2024-06-25) Victor Eduardo Ferreira: Perfeito, old times gold times :)
  • (2024-06-13) scot mac: Not working anymore. The images results has blank white rectangle on the right side, covering the results on that side. I tried the supposed fix of uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Still the same. It seems that Google is trying to fight w/ the extension to force us to use their pathetic new UI.
  • (2024-06-09) Yahrite Fohb: No longer working correctly. Images often low resolution. If you click the first image, it seems to work. Click the next image, the previous image is still there. When you close the image it only has the centered images. Needs to be tweaked and updated because as it currently is, it's annoying.
  • (2024-06-03) Kasia Wójcik: It stopped working even though it was up-to-date and had access to search results, so I removed it and installed it again - it's working again! Great, I can't stand the "new" look.
  • (2024-05-31) Gabe Colena: as of 5/31 the images clip off the screen on the right side, need to use the horizontal scroll bar to view the images on the right
  • (2024-05-25) Igor Romanov: At last - this extension makes images search on Google usable again.
  • (2024-05-19) Laurence Bati: It realistically looks like the old one! It's very accurate!
  • (2024-05-15) R Banerjee: It's working again, thank you for putting in the extra effort!
  • (2024-05-11) Biruk: Thank you!
  • (2024-05-10) NATE MTZ: Installed the extension and it didn't change anything, either it doesn't work or it's not working at the moment.
