User reviews

Users appreciate that 'Image Search Options' fulfills its purpose well, especially for source searches and art verification, and that it is configurable and available on Firefox. However, common issues include lack of developer updates, incompatibility with recent Google API changes, problems with new tabs in multiple windows, and occasional failures such as opening empty windows.

Pros

Provides exactly the functionality users are hoping for in image searching.
Useful for finding the source of images and verifying art ownership.
Has a Firefox version similar to the well-used Chrome counterpart.
Simple to configure by importing custom JSON files for search engines.
Generally works flawlessly under normal conditions.

Cons

Does not work properly in cases of multiple windows, where new tabs open at the far right regardless of settings.
Appears to be abandoned by the developer with no recent updates.
Compatibility issues due to changes in Google's API, causing non-functionality.
Some users experience the add-on opening empty windows instead of performing searches.

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.

Image Search Options requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Image Search Options has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
