Summary

Summary:

Once GooglePanicImages is enabled, a 'View' button is displayed on top of images from Google Image search, when images are hovered over. Clicking on 'View' opens the source image directly in a new tab.

Important Google image search layout changed, somehow, in Firefox above version 103+ (tested with Nightly). The add on now asks, if Firefox above version 103 is used, to direct to the previous Google image search where the addon is still working. This might work or might not work.

The 'View' button is displayed at the regular search and details view of the Google Image search, as possible.

Big preview image Also the big preview image can be opened directly by clicking once on the big preview. Please give the addon a second to analyze the image correctly once it is loaded completely from Google.

Note: This works ouf of the box for the initial 100 images found - after that, in reason of a Google encryption for the URLs, you have to click on the image in order to get the "View" link.

User reviews
It was a very good add-on that I have been using for a long time. It hasn't been working lately. I would be very happy if you could solve the problem. Thanks.
