Good extension but it only seems to work properly on the first half of the Google image page. After that when you click to view an image it opens to a version that is smaller to the one you are trying to view. It can be very inconvenient but otherwise it works fine.
Works great! I'm so glad to be rid of Google's horrid "new" layout. I honestly can't image search without it. There is however one small problem with their last update. The Little refining categories at the top of the page. https://i.imgur.com/HCr783p.gif Are gone whenever this extension is enabled. https://i.imgur.com/OPCnijw.jpg They're actually quite useful. And i'd love for them to make a return.
정말 좋은 확장프로그램입니다. 한국어가 없다는 것빼고는 다른 건 다 장점입니다.
It works thank you!
I am using this extension & love it. But I request the developer to solve my problem pls. In the image search results, when we click on a random image for preview, webpage hard scrolls up/down so that it can show the preview at center of the screen. In my opinion, this behavior is not much different from current google images, because it also makes images jump all over the place just to show a preview. My request is that, Instead of automatic hard scrolling, webpage should just show the preview below the clicked image. There is no problem if some part of preview is out of screen. We can manually scroll up/down. I remember this is how old google images used to work. Pls bring it back. Thanks.
First off, I was so happy when I found this extension, makes things much easier. But it doesn't seem to be working anymore. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple times and it hasn't helped. Is anyone else having this issue?
This is working as of Aug 5, 2021. Thank you!
This one works as of July 31, 2021. Thanks to the dev for ensuring this continues to work. And a sarcastic thanks to google for bowing down to Getty images.
July 30, 2021: THIS EXTENSION IS AWESOME!!! I believe Google made a recent change (last 30 days?) in Images as the previous extension I had no longer allowed "View Image". I uninstalled, reinstalled that extension and it still failed. Ran across this one, installed and WOW - it works better than the extension I was using. GREAT JOB. Kudos.
Great plugin... Thank you Rene Ae for your efforts and maintaining this... cheers...
