Review Summary
The 'View Image' Chrome extension was once highly appreciated for simplifying direct image access on Google Images. Users praised its design and functionality. However, recent Google changes have rendered the extension unreliable, with the 'View Image' button often disappearing or failing to appear, especially in browsers other than Chrome. The extension's lack of recent updates and abandonment by developers contribute to ongoing issues. Despite this, some users still find it functional in Chrome, though alternatives exist that do not require extensions.
Pros
- Used to work well and was very useful for viewing images directly from Google Image search.
- Interface and button design align well with Google's Material Design guidelines.
- Works fine in Chrome browser for many users.
- Provides easy access to images without needing to visit the hosting page.
- Simplifies viewing, copying, downloading, or dragging images directly from search results.
Cons
- Currently, the extension often does not work or the 'View Image' button disappears quickly due to changes from Google.
- Does not work consistently across different Chromium-based browsers like Brave.
- Some images, such as those on Facebook, are not supported by the extension.
- The GitHub repository and extension appear to be abandoned, with no recent updates to fix issues.
- Takes a few seconds for the button to load or may not appear reliably.
