2. View TinEye results.

How to configure the TinEye extension:

You can choose to open TinEye.com results in the current tab, a new active tab, or a new background tab, and you can select how your results are initially ordered: Last Used settings, Best Match, Most Changed, Biggest Image, Newest, or Oldest.

To set preferences, click the TinEye icon in your menu bar and select ‘Options’. If the icon isn’t pinned, click the puzzle piece in your browser’s top-right corner, then the three dots next to ‘TinEye Reverse Image Search’, and select ‘Options’.
