2019-11-19	Firefox user 13542370		I don't often write reviews, I've barely written 10 opinions on anything, both good and bad, for purchases and freebies of goods, services or even programs & their add-ons, over the last 20+ years, but I feel this app is worth the time and effort. In my opinion, Tineye is, and has been for many years, the most accurate and most thorough reverse image search tool available. It makes it easy to find different sizes of an image on the net and you can sort the results to find which site hosted the image first, who has changed it or resized it the most and if out has been bought meaning you can often work out where the image originated, who has copied the image and find sites with edits of the image. If you want to find a wide range of vaguely similar images (eg. a picture of the sea with a building in view) or only a limited range of identical images, then Google's basic reverse image search is for you, but if you want to find the original image, badged and labelled copies of you target image, images with edits, even cropped or colour changed versions, or even if it's been grouped with other pictures and displayed as a single picture or even used in a diagram, then Tineye is by far the best free option available. While there are other image searches apps available that will search multiple image collections or sites together (eg. Yandex images, Google images, Bing images, Pinterest and others), none are as accurate as Tineye and it already includes the majority of these sites and sources as is, meaning no need to search multiple places or use different search apps to include these sources (even finding images in several registration only and subscription sites). Tineye's only flaw is that sometimes new images might not be recognised until a few hours after they've been posted to the web, but with most popular and common news and image sites any copies of your target picture are found very quickly and search times are very fast to boot and that still better than many other options available. Tineye even does well with poor quality, very small, grainy, noisy and out of focus images, the images that most other image searchers just don't attempt to find or simply don't recognise, though there are some really bad quality pictures that even Tineye struggles to work from. I would like to see a minimum image size option, or a size search range limit added to the current choices and an image quality or image file type sort to help avoid the times when many thousands of the same image are in the results. eg. when searching for icons that may be available in hundreds of sizes from 12x12px to 4k. Just a note (or warning) that when using Google's reverse image search for different sizes, or similar images, like cropped images, of say an aircraft photo, Google will simply just search for an aircraft, and, if you're really lucky, it might even be the same colour or the same background type, whereas Tineye will find exactly the same image (if it's out there), cropped, written on or even used in banner or diagram. Google should be so much better at such a simple search than it is, especially with the amount of adverts and sponsored results they shove in your face. Tineye is many miles ahead of Google at this type of targeted image search, and does it with minimal advertising. It can, if needed, accurately and quickly help you find who might be publicly misusing your own photographs without your permission, ie. illegally; helping to identify fraud, false claims (and "fake news") and could help you find copywrite abuses, claim lost commission's and credit for your work, regardless of whether you're a professional photographer or a weekend phone-camera snapper and Tweeter. It can work even if there is a watermark added or if your watermarks have been edited out. To help further, there's a simple 1- click comparison view that makes it easy to see any differences. This alone makes Tineye more like the image search programs used to help stop online piracy, plagiarism and catfishing - in a lightweight browser add-on. With availability for most browser types on almost any platform, I have added Tineye to each browser I use on all my devices. Just to clarify, I have, and never have had, any part in, or anything to do with, the development of Tineye or its creators. I simply believe it is the best available app of its kind and have yet to find another that comes anywhere close to Tineye for any browser or platform. It is almost perfect for all my image search, recovery, copyright management and personal interests in the millions of pictures, diagrams and even forms available on the web. A true 11 out of 10 star application and should be the minimum standard of usefulness, thoroughness and simplicity to users that all apps should be compared to, whether they're commercial, free or ad supported, it sets the bar all others need to aim for. Thanks to the devs that produced Tineye for making such a simple search tool so easy to use and thorough in its results, available free to is users. BRAVO !!!

2017-03-21	PERCE-NEIGE		The official extension works for me, but I prefer this one, because the other one has feature I don't need.
2016-08-17	RenegadeX		Unlike the official extension, this one does what it says it will do. Right click on an image, choose "Search image for Tineye" and a new tab opens with the Tineye.com result. Also should mention, no restart required upon installation! Thanks, extension author!
