Changes the behaviour of Google Images™ so that clicking on an image thumbnail takes you directly to the full-size image.
Straight to Full-Size for Google Images™ Extension
Google updated their search results page, which broke this extension some time ago. This release fixes this issue.
------
Google Images forces you through an intermediate preview step when trying to view an image from their images search result page.
Sometimes, I'd prefer to just go directly to the URL of the fullsize image. This extension detects when your browser has arrived at a Google Images preview page and provides a simpler way to get at the full-size image.
