View Image Button Extension

View Image Button (for Google™ Search) is an extension that lets you add a button to the Google image search page to view images directly.

The toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch to quickly add or remove the button. Please note that clicking the view image button will open the image in a new tab. Moreover, this extension tries to find and open the image in the maximum available resolution (please wait for the image to completely load and render before pressing the view image button).

To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/view-image-button.html).
