This extension just brings it back. That beautiful Button. It brings it back. Brings back the "View Image" button on Google Image results page, clicking on which will open the full size image in a new tab. Also, I made it Open Source (MIT License).

Great! Just a quick suggestion (Too lazy to open an issue on Github :) ). Is there any reason not to use a more specific filter here?: "content_scripts": [ { "matches": [ "http://*/*", "https://*/*" ], So it doesn't run on every page, we want it to be executed only when browsing Google, don't we?

When Did I…?

I was really sad that they took away the View Image button. I used it all the time! Safari is my browser of choice. Any chance we can get a Safari extension happening?

I don't get why I need it?

I can still right click on an image and select View image in a new tab or Copy image url which is what I most often need anyway. Search by image isn't gone anythere either.

Pros:

One click less?

Cons:

Nothing is really missing

Along with thousands of others, I was fairly shocked at the news of Google's removal of the 'View Image' button. Despite the fair reasoning behind their decision, it's now made life with a lot of my clients quite difficult. This plugin solves that problem.

Pros:

Reinstates one of the most used features of Google Images

Cons:

None

Nice! Please fix a bug when you click multiple times on a same picture, I am getting multiple "View Image" buttons. Steps: 1. Click image 1 2. Click image 2 3. Click image 1 - Repeat until you get 3 buttons on every image.
