Google Images Restored Backup is a Chrome extension that brings back the classic Google Images interface as it appeared before August 6, 2019. Since Google frequently changes the backend of Google Images, this extension helps users enjoy the familiar experience of the older design. Users should note that the extension might occasionally break due to updates from Google, but updates and fixes are available on its official repository.

This tool is perfect for users who prefer the traditional Google Images layout and want to avoid the newer changes that might affect their browsing or research habits. Stay updated and get the extension from the linked repository to restore your preferred Google Images view.

Extension safety

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.

Google Images Restored backup requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
