Review summary

This add-on aims to restore Google's 'View Image' button in image search results and, when functional, opens images in a separate tab for easy saving. It is simple and useful, especially with the Google Images Restored plugin. However, reliability is a common issue: the button often doesn’t appear, especially on certain sites (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn); Google layout changes frequently break compatibility, and the UI often diverges from screenshots.

Pros

Restores the 'View Image' button in Google Images search results.
When it works, clicking 'View Image' opens the image in its own page/tab for easy saving/viewing.
Simple and convenient extension.
Can be used with the Google Images Restored plugin to handle newer layouts.

Cons

Button frequently does not appear or the extension does not work, making it unreliable.
Doesn’t work on images hosted on sites like Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn due to site restrictions.
Breaks or becomes inconsistent when Google updates its layout, requiring updates to the add-on.
UI may differ from the screenshots and feel inconsistent with the old interface.

2025-07-14	Go*****	Does Exactly what it says it does and adds the view image button that was once in google image search back to Googles image search. The best part is when you click view image it opens the image by itself (in most instances) in a new page, making it easy to select just the image.
