Full summary

ViewImage adds the "View Image" button back to the google images results page.

The code for this extension is available on GitHub: https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage Please feel free to make any PR's or submit an issue.

6 NOV 2013 - VERSION 2.0 RELEASED! Google updated their search results page, which broke this extension some time ago. This release fixes this issue.


Google Images forces you through an intermediate preview step when trying to view an image from their images search result page.

Sometimes, I'd prefer to just go directly to the URL of the fullsize image. This extension detects when your browser has arrived at a Google Images preview page and provides a simpler way to get at the full-size image.

CHANGELOG:

Version 2.0 (6 November 2013)

  • Updated to work with Google's new search results page format.

Version 1.6 (2 October 2012)
