Mr Funky Beautiful (ID: 0000001f57c2a83c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/02/2024 'Search By Image' is missing, probably thanks to the chrome update. That is a very useful feature we've lost (again!). View Image is working OK though. Jan 2024 update: Great to see the view image button working again. Brilliant extension, thanks for updating it.
