User reviews
Pros
- Provides a convenient 'View Image' button to directly access images from Google Image Search.
- Easy to use and aligns well with Google's Material Design guidelines.
- Works well on Google Images in Chrome browser.
- Allows quick image preview and direct access without navigating to the hosting website.
Cons
- Often stops working or the button disappears shortly after appearing, likely due to changes by Google.
- Limited or no functionality on some platforms or browser variants other than Chrome (e.g., Brave).
- Does not work reliably on some image sources such as Facebook images or newly updated Google interfaces.
- GitHub repository appears abandoned and the extension may not be updated to keep up with Google changes.
- Some users find the functionality inconsistent, with the button appearing only briefly or not at all.

Works well for me on images.google.com, but doesn't seem to work when google suggests images at the top of a regular google search (even though it's the same UI)

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.
View Image requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.
View Image has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
