User Reviews

Many reviews praise nostalgia and the ability to view/save images when it works, but a strong majority note the addon is no longer functional and largely unmaintained. Reported problems include broken layouts, blank pages, and compatibility issues with Google’s updates, plus concerns about abandoned maintenance. A few users still report partial functionality in certain Firefox builds, but overall reliability is low.

Pros

Restores the classic Google Images layout and provides a nostalgic browsing experience.
Core functionality (viewing and saving images) works when the extension is functioning as intended.
Some users report it still works in Firefox Developer edition or in certain versions, indicating partial compatibility in specific environments.

Cons

Widely reported to no longer work or be broken for many users (no longer works, doesn’t work, outdated).
Not updated for years (not updated since 2021; maintenance appears abandoned), with suggestions to use alternative/backup forks.
Causes Google Images to render incorrectly (blank pages or broken layout, sidebars, images not clickable), reducing usability and reliability.
Mobile layout issues and inconsistent behavior across updates, further degrading usability for some users.

Recent reviews

No longer works as of around Oct/Nov of 2025.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Google Images Restored has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
