No longer working correctly. Images often low resolution. If you click the first image, it seems to work. Click the next image, the previous image is still there. When you close the image it only has the centered images. Needs to be tweaked and updated because as it currently is, it's annoying.

Its still working, but, just in the past few days it now pops up an overlay on the right hand side. Its the preview box that shows up on the right side in google image search without the extension enabled, but now its showing up with the extension enabled and its floating on top instead of being nested to the right next to the results. not sure if I can include a link to a screenshot but if so: https://i.imgur.com/q87XzCa.png

It stopped working even though it was up-to-date and had access to search results, so I removed it and installed it again - it's working again! Great, I can't stand the "new" look.
