Straight to Full-Size for Google Images™ Extension

6 NOV 2013 - VERSION 2.0 RELEASED!
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.

CHANGELOG:

Version 2.0 (6 November 2013)
- Updated to work with Google's new search results page format.

Version 1.6 (2 October 2012)
- Updated the manifest file to the new format (was preventing the extension from being installed)
- Rewrote a lot of the code to change the way the tab handling is done
- Added \"View original website\" and \"View Google Images preview\" links to the full-size image display page

Version 1.5 (15 September 2011)
- Fixed a major issue introduced when Google changed the structure of their URLs which broke the previous version.
- Removed the additional links added below the image in the previous version.

Version 1.4 (28 Mar 2011)
- Added browser toolbar button to toggle the extension on and off
- Can now use the browser's back/forward buttons to switch between Google Images preview and the full-size image.
- Added useful options below the full-size image
- Slight name change to comply with the Chrome Web Store's branding guidelines

Version 1.3 (23 Aug 2010)
- bugfix to support images.google.com domain (thanks Nos402)

Version 1.2 (3 Aug 2010)
- Added new icons

Version 1.1 (3 Aug 2010)
- Detection update

Version 1.0 (2 Aug 2010)
- Initial release

English_Lessons Pre-Int_Intermediate (ID: 00000003b7e2127e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/23/2023 3 stars so that the other suers were not encouraged to click this page and install this soft, and waste time. I would have given it 1 star, but I suppose this extension still helps the users with older versions of edge, so let them not think this thing does not work. It possibly does, on older version. My new updated version does not show any functionalty like the one promised in the description. I click the images in Google Image search results and I ger redirected to the site with this image, and what I origanally wanted does not happen - the image does not open in full size after I click Google Image results.
