Extension summary

6 NOV 2013 - VERSION 2.0 RELEASED! Google updated their search results page, which broke this extension some time ago. This release fixes this issue.


Google Images forces you through an intermediate preview step when trying to view an image from their images search result page.

Sometimes, I'd prefer to just go directly to the URL of the fullsize image. This extension detects when your browser has arrived at a Google Images preview page and provides a simpler way to get at the full-size image.

CHANGELOG:

Version 2.0 (6 November 2013)

  • Updated to work with Google's new search results page format.

Version 1.6 (2 October 2012)

It works, thank you. It even loads 70MP images from advanced search.

It just opens the website. Same comments appearing from 8 months ago, so it must be an abandoned extension.
