View Image extension no longer works when logged into Google on Firefox 146.0 (aarch64) on Mac. We have had this problem occasionally over the years!

Yeah it has been broken for a bit now
@bijij is this still being maintained?

[mzso]

I think it is fully broken now. Both addon and userscript version.

[Reonu]

Since this addon is abandoned, are there any alternatives?

I think it is fully broken now. Both addon and userscript version.

Would that mean it's impossible to fix?

Maybe try this user script: https://gist.github.com/ner00/ec9ae47e202b8e99f19be44a5af6baf3

If anyone can tell me how to, I'll be grateful!

In the meantime, I updated the script to be used with extensions such as GreaseMonkey, TamperMonkey, etc. You can grab the script here: https://gist.github.com/ner00/ec9ae47e202b8e99f19be44a5af6baf3

NOTE: The script linked above will not work if the extension is running at the same time. While the extension isn't updated, you can disable it and use the script instead.

For those who might not know how to install user scripts to run in your browser, like an extension, follow this:

1. Make sure to disable or uninstall the View Image extension in your browser (go to settings, find the section with extensions, and disable or uninstall it).

   • Firefox extensions URL: about:addons
   • Chrome extensions URL: chrome://extensions/
   • Edge extensions URL: edge://extensions/

2. Install an extension that allows to add user scripts, most popular are Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey (choose one):

   • Tampermonkey for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/
   • Greasemonkey for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
   • Tampermonkey for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo
   • Tampermonkey for Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/tampermonkey/iikmkjmpaadaobahmlepeloendndfphd

3. Install the user script mentioned, which can be installed directly by clicking here: https://gist.github.com/ner00/ec9ae47e202b8e99f19be44a5af6baf3/raw/viewimage.user.js

Works great, thank you!

I'll try! Thank you.

Fantastic! Thank you, it works great.

I think it actually stopped working, I get taken to a webpage not an image, most of the time. The lens button often fails to work and just also takes me to the website. Actually if I middle click it it fails and then subsequently left click also starts failing.
This really needs an update.
