I'm experiencing the same thing. No "View Image" button appears, just share and save.

It's right there:

View Image (v5.1.0), Brave Browser (1.67.116 Chromium: 126.0.6478.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)) on Windows 11.
But it's missing in Firefox...

I think some people are getting a new class name instead of the one embedded in the code, namely .tvh9oe, which in my case now either uses .EIehLd or .fHE6De.

I can't find EIehLd or fHE6De in the source code of the page.
And I don't know exactly where to look what is used with the inspector...

Try to locate yourself based on the screenshot below (search term was cats)

Note that the selected div is the following:

<div jsname="CGzTgf" class="BIB1wf EIehLd fHE6De" data-tbnid="eAP244UcF5wdYM" data-hveid="2" decode-data-ved="1" data-ved="0CAIQmNAHahcKEwjglbqrs96GAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQIw" data-lhcontainer="1" jscontroller="reJ4Ud" jsmodel="pbt71c" jsaction="rcuQ6b:npT2md" style="display: block;">

class="BIB1wf EIehLd fHE6De" being the point of interest, previously one of those 3 classes (.BIB1wf, .EIehLd, .fHE6De) would be .tvh9oe, yet for me that is no longer the case and why it fails.

I just noticed, that the extension "Google Images Restored" was active. Without it, there is no link in Brave either.

[ner00]

there is no link in Brave either.

This is because Google is constantly doing A/B implementations, where they change something and push that to a group of users and not another. Usually if you are logged in you should have the same issue across browsers, but those A/B tests are pushed based on different variables which I can only guess (cookies, preferences, browser, region, primary language, etc.). Unfortunately this type of thing has been happening pretty often in the past couple years.

In fact, in the past few months this extension implemented some pretty good dynamic code to detect the elements that were more prone to change, but this time Google seems to have made changes to a class name that was not dynamically detected (it hadn't changed in years), hence why it broke like this.

Thanks!
It works again using your updated script.
Now the extension needs to be updated as well.

[ner00]

It works again using your updated script.

Cool.
If possible, please edit your opening post where you say it doesn't work (it may be chronologically confusing).

[Reonu]

Will the extension itself be updated to account for this?

Hi All, I've submitted a new version 5.2 which should hopefully resolve this issue.

[nicolaasjan]

Thanks!

Hi All, I've submitted a new version 5.2 which should hopefully resolve this issue.

Any ETA on when it will be updated for Firefox? Not sure why the topic author closed the issue when the issue is still present.
