ViewImage Chrome Extension: Bring Back Google Images' View Image Button

'View Image' is a Chrome extension that reintroduces the 'View Image' button to Google Images. The button, once a staple feature, provided a straightforward way to view and download images. With 'View Image' installed, users can once again quickly access images without being redirected to the containing webpage. Open-source code is available on GitHub for keen coders to participate in improving the extension.

User reviews

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)

Era muito bom, mas não está funcionando, não aparece mais o botão "Ver Imagem". Espero que conserte.
