User reviews

The 'Search on Google Lens' Firefox add-on is praised for its usefulness and ease of use with web images through right-click. However, multiple users report it no longer works reliably, especially with images from local files or screenshots. Many encounter it getting stuck while sending images to Google or failing with errors. These issues seem recent and have marred the previously positive experience. Additionally, Google's search limitations may affect functionality. Overall, it's a handy tool when working properly but currently plagued by critical operational problems.

Pros

Works well on compatible web images (.jpg, .png, .webp) accessed via right-click context menu.
Very useful and handy for searching images with Google Lens.
Provides a convenient search functionality integrated into Firefox.
Generally appreciated functionality before recent issues.
Simple and effective when operational.

Cons

Does not work for images opened from local hard disk or screenshots unless saved first.
Recently stopped functioning properly, often gets stuck on 'Sending the image to Google' or shows error messages.
Fails to retrieve images or send them to Google, causing frequent errors.
Limited by Google's API restrictions, leading to failed or zero results occasionally.
Sluggishness reported during some operations.

Cette extension ne fonctionne qu'au clic droit sur les extensions compatibles c'est à dire les formats .jpg .png et liens .webp dans les pages web, mais pas pour les captures écran, à moins de d'abord les enregistrer puis d'effectuer une recherche. à part çela, ça fonctionne bien. Merci.
