User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's simplicity, no-permissions requirement, and previously reliable functionality for reverse image search with size filters. However, many report it has stopped working recently, often showing errors or no results. Additional frustrations include lack of instructions and inability to search images from local device. Users hope for updates to restore proper function.

Cons

Currently stopped working for many users
No option to search images from device via browse mode
Persistent icon in the toolbar cannot be removed
Leads to Google error or no results page instead of proper search
