Summary
Analyze keywords

IMGoogle (iGoogle formerly) is a tiny addon that enables users to reverse search for an image in Google Image Search by right-clicking on the image and selecting "Google search for this Image". It opens a new page with the search result by Google.

📌 Extension only forwards the image details to Google Images to perform the search. Due to the removal of the reverse image search API by Google (and change to Lens), the search result in not as it was before. If I find a better solution, I will implement it.

The only add-on in this category with the feature to enable searching local files from the computer.

Note: None of my extensions contain any tracking, advertising or privacy infringement.
