Extension summary

Do you miss the "View image" and "Search by image" buttons from Google Images? This little extension brings them back.

Yeah, screw Getty and their shitty policy.

If you like the extension, be sure to spread the word and if you'd like to help me and buy me a drink, here's my Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/kasetavhs

Some keywords for SEO purposes: restoring google image search, view image, search by image.

PS. This is probably not the most efficient way to make this kind of extension, but I took an easy route. There are no any kind of trackers, I don't collect any data, you can check the source by yourself. Extension is around 60 lines long and I could probably do it smaller, but I like when my code is readable.

Enjoy!

No longer works (for either feature). This is probably fixable by the developer; Google just changed whatever it was this was working around, so the workaround has broken since 2018.
