Hezha V (ID: 000000f5a8d56be2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/27/2023 Great job! Everything works perfectly fine. There's only one problem though. when I hit the "Enter" button to search the image, two tabs open at the same time, instead of only one. it's a little weird because when I use the search button within the extension, everything works fine. is this issue with the extension or my browser?

Vincent van Hoven (ID: 0000007cf8c0fa56) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/24/2022 This extension used to work like a charm, but at the date of writing this review searching for exact images sizes no longer works.

Joshua Hodges (Josh) (ID: 000000f99b8020de) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/26/2022 Downloaded it so that I could use the exact size function, which doesn't work. Pretty much makes this useless as all the other features can still be accessed otherwise.
