## Review summary

Overall, users say Image Search Options mostly works but with a recurring issue around the Google integration. The Google reverse image search often redirects to Google Images or fails, and several reviews mention Google API changes requiring an update. A few users report SauceNAO search failures in recent days. Positive notes include cross-browser use (Chrome users can switch to Firefox) and the ability to import a configuration JSON. A minority report the app opens an empty window. Overall, performance depends on the Google option and ongoing maintenance.

### Cons

- Google option not working / Google API changes requiring update by the author.
