Reviews & Comments of View Image button for Google Images™ chrome extension

It doesn't work anymore! ?

No longer works. Probably fixable by the developer. Google just changed whatever this was working around, so the workaround stopped working around it.

Doesn't work. Another "View Image" app that claims to work but doesn't ...

Broken.

Doesn't work :(

Not working any longer, but used to be very useful!

Good! But should be move it to the left side

Please fix it, not working again :(

It's broken again. Was working perfectly until something changed..

Love it, but the recent update to Google Images has broken it. Please fix!

It worked like a wonder until now. Too bad it does not seem to work after today's update.

Thanks!

I went through the source code on Github, since I know some extensions like to be sneaky and ping data out to a server (to keep track of things it shouldn't). The Javascript code is very sound, and I can't see any parts of it that contact external servers. It simply observes if you're on the image section, and then observes for each image in order to place the View Image button back in it's rightful place. Someone should double check that there's not lines of code in the attachment unlisted from the GitHub source, but it's the same size on the website as it is on GitHub, so it's likely not the case. With my concern out of the way, I gave this a shot, and it works like a dream. I'm impressed at how compact and efficient the code is, even if it's just moving the link from a source image to a button. My only suggestion would be to move it back to where it used to be, but even then with a little tinkering in JS that wouldn't be difficult. I'd recommend it to others, for sure.

Thank you so much! Screw Getty Images am I right?

Right on Brother

Screw you Getty. I'll never visit your site ever again.

Hi, I see the problem now is the "view images" doesn't show up if the images is above 12MP. Thanks for the great work!

Thank you! Works great! Getty Images should get a better programmer. There are websites that won't let you open image links directly. They should do that if it bothers them so much. This is just ridiculous. Thanks for the fix!

Why it was removed is a mystery, works great after a first refresh from download! Great stuff thanks!

This is how google is supposed to be. My advice to you Getty images: don't mess with google again!

Works as advertised.

Ha! Take that, Getty.

You my sir are a god

Works great!

Works great, thanks!

Thanks for fixing what stupidity broke.

Works perfect! Thanks for bringing this button back for us.

Thanks for giving us the button back! Works just like it use to before Google took it away.
