View Image for Google Images

Bring the 'View Image' button back to Google Images (for both desktop and mobile view)

This extension re-implements "View Image" button back to Google Images. The extension works on both desktop and mobile version of the Google Images website. Also, it supports all localized Google Images websites as well.

In comparison to the other similar add-ons, this one has the following advantages:

  1. It uses non-persistent background script
  2. There is no mutation observer in the code which potentially reduces the page loading.
  3. It supports mobile view
  4. It detects the right image even when the user slides an image back or forward.

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 for Google Images requires very minimum permissions.
