Probably won't work, but that's all I got at the moment. I wonder if there's a way to force Google Images to change its visual by changing any particular setting, most times it seems they just push stuff at random to a few users and not others. Bummer.

It partially works. Kinda.

After making that change, I get the 3 buttons I was getting before, then to the right of those I get "Search by image" and a view image button that has the same icon as the visit button.

Clicking "Search by image" just opens this page: -

https://www.google.co.uk/imghp?sbi=1

However, clicking the view image button on the right does work as intended and opens the image in a new tab.

So, you're definitely on to something.

The script doesn't work in iOS via the UserScripts safari extension, it says that the URLs don't match. I think that google could be using different set of classes/rules for mobile/iOS.

I guess Google keeps screwing up your awesome program... Weird how the Chrome extensions page actually has it listed, but the 'Add extension' button is disabled. I just now downloaded the zip file with the .js file in it. I have NO bloody idea what to do with it, can I add the folder with the .js file directly into my extensions page? I'm guessing not.

What now...? Is it time to give up : )

Thanks though for all your hard work Bro!

Ah! I guess maybe when Chrome last updated, your extension simply got removed. I just navigated to where I had unpacked your extension the last time and reloaded it! BAM! Works fine now :D

please update to 5.0.2
simply copying from here https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage/blob/master/js/content-script.js does not work on an older browser like a waterfox. and the userscript is the only option. because extensions are now manifest v3
