Features & Capabilities

Contextual Google Image Search is a handy Chrome extension that integrates Google Image Search directly into your browser's right-click menu. It allows users to quickly search for images without the need to manually input URLs or drag and drop images. This extension supports searching not only visible images but also cached images, local files, and images encoded through Data URI schemes (e.g., base64).

Additionally, users can initiate image searches by selecting text on the page, enhancing flexibility. Keyboard shortcuts improve usability: holding the Shift key toggles searches between foreground and background, while the Control key opens searches in a new tab. This tool is ideal for anyone looking to obtain detailed information about images efficiently and seamlessly from their browsing experience.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the Contextual Google Image Search add-on for bringing reliable reverse-image search functionality to Firefox, similar to Chrome's capability. The ability to configure how search results open is also praised. However, multiple users note that the default behavior to open searches in the same tab is inconvenient, and the brief delay on the Google main page causes momentary confusion that the search failed. Adding support for opening results in new tabs via middle-click or settings would improve usability.

Pros

Provides consistent and reliable reverse-image search functionality.
Enables Google image search directly within Firefox similar to Chrome.
Allows configuration for opening search results in current, foreground, or background new tabs.
Highly appreciated by users and praised for fulfilling a previously missing feature in Firefox.

Cons

By default, the image search opens in the same tab which is not convenient for some users.
There is a slight delay on the new-tab Google main page causing a brief confusion that the search did not work.
Lacks middle-click or easy options for opening search results in new tabs, which some users desire.

Is Contextual Google Image Search Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Contextual Google Image Search requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
