User Reviews

Users value the add-on for reliability, easy screenshot-based Google Lens searches, and OCR translation with a light footprint. However, issues recur after updates, and performance can be slow or stall during uploads. Some site-specific problems (Pixiv, Google Earth) affect reliability, and a few users request enhancements like keyboard shortcuts.
Pros
  • Generally reliable and works as intended across Firefox versions.
  • Screenshots search (right-click/search from screenshot) works well.
  • Lightweight and low CPU usage compared to Chrome.
  • OCR/text extraction enables easy translation of on-screen text.
  • Cross-device usability (works with mobile Google Lens) for convenient use on the go.
Cons
  • Not functioning consistently; some updates break functionality or cause it to stop working.
  • Uploading and overall performance can be very slow or stall (e.g., 'Uploading image...' spinner).
  • Site-specific compatibility issues; not working on certain sites (e.g., Pixiv, Google Earth) in reported cases.
