Dosent work anymore...

I cannot figure out how to invoke it. If I see an image I like, a right-click does nothing. If I open the extension manually, I get only the settings windows. And the settings windows are not at all obvious to use. If you change a setting, then you have to "x" the window which seems like cancel to me. I could not tell whether I'd changed the options or not. There is no documentation I can find on how to use it. A lot of people may like it, but for me it was frustrating and unusable. I notice that even the people who supposedly like it are still complaining about clunkiness. E.g. "Pressing 'Open image in new tab' seems to be the only way to center images." This sounds like a hassle to me. Try something else is my advice.

Pressing “Open image in new tab” seems to be the only way to center images. I was tired of constantly having to right-click. Thank you for creating this!

Great

ヒコヅ 2025-06-08

wholllyy cheesee, this is amazing, good job bro you're more usefull than the entire google team

Clay Benson 2025-03-03

Works well for me on images.google.com, but doesn't seem to work when google suggests images at the top of a regular google search (even though it's the same UI)

Mohammad ALShatwi 2025-02-06

love it

Khalid Abdulla 2024-12-10

No longer works. The button will disappear after a second. Can't really blame the developer. This is entirely Google's fault and it's anti-consumer campaign. This coupled with the upcoming removal of Ublock Origin is too much. Uninstalled and back good old Firefox.

Theodore Crawford 2024-12-09

Recently (as in, maybe the past couple of months) the "View Image" button only appears for a second before disappearing. I assume this is Google screwing around with stuff because they *really* don't want you to just be able to click images without visiting the page. This is in Chrome, by the way: Version 131.0.6778.87

Works great for the most part, but not with some links such as Facebook images.

Mickey Gibson 2024-09-30

Works fine in Chrome, but for some reason it only appears for a split second in Brave. If you're using a Chromium-based off-shoot and it's not working for you try Chrome.

Mykey McK 2024-09-07

Works as intended, not sure why people are having issues with it, unless they don't understand what it does.

İBRAHİM GÖNÜL 2024-08-23

Not Working.............

D4rK Rekords 2024-08-20

This is a great implementation! The button perfectly aligns with Google's Material Design guidelines.

Rich 2024-08-14

This didn't do anything for me. It doesn't work at all.

Markiian 2024-07-23

Good

Ali Abbas 2024-07-07

Takes a couple seconds to load the button but it works. It would be nice to have an option to link the preview image directly to the image as well.

Arif Ibn Sayed 2024-07-05

I'm getting a message that "not working" is not a problem, but the problem is that it's broke my google image section. what a shame.

Xander W 2024-06-23

Broken. Removed.

Not working anymore 16 5 2024.

Anton Krasnoselscky 2024-04-23

As for april 23 2024 it works, but not for every site. It works when you can [rightclick]-[open image in new tab]. It doesn't work when the image that you open in new tab doesn't load in its original resolution. Tried "Google Images Restored" extention, it works there.

Penumbra1979 2024-04-16

Works good most of the time, but not all images give you the "View Image" button to click. I still recommend this to use as it saves time.

Daniel 2024-04-09

yup

Daryl Tom 2024-04-06

Not working, hate the new 2024 version, off to the right.

Aria Ravenlock 2024-04-04

'Search By Image' is missing, probably thanks to the chrome update. That is a very useful feature we've lost (again!). View Image is working OK though. Jan 2024 update: Great to see the view image button working again. Brilliant extension, thanks for updating it.

Works again!!! Thank you so much for the new update

Astria Starwynd 2024-01-02

Edit: Putting the extension back now since they've fixed the weird website permission issue.

Erni Landia 2023-12-31

DONT USE THIS!!! is asking for permission to nonexistent websites.

Mike Rotenberg 2023-12-31

See latest commit for a fix to the goocatgle.rs issue: https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage/commit/381f8082017293618ebe0cbc2be5efcee93e2972 Looks like it was just a weird typo introduced in v5. Seems related to introducing "google.cat": https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage/commit/884aefc821736bd67ec953a8dd2b2b7dcd98e2fe

JonW 2023-12-31

Why, following the update, is it now asking for permission to "read and change your data on all goocatgle.rs sites"? That domain doesn't even exist (check on any DNS lookup service).

m 2023-12-31

furkan halifeoglu 2023-12-26

Dean Pittard 2023-12-06

Google/Chrome updates have sadly broken this, such a shame as it was an amazing extension, and thank you to the devs for creating and updating it. If they ever managed to fix it I will certainly change this back to 5 stars because it's fantastic when it works
