IQDB Context Extension

Right-click on anime images to reverse-image-search for larger/similar versions through iqdb.org. Results open in a new background tab. (Can change settings to open in foreground.)

This is an unofficial extension; I am not related to IQDB.

***
Version History (changelog):

2.0:
- Updated to extension manifest v3. Minimum Chrome version increased to 88. If you need the previous version of the extension (0.6.1), it can be downloaded here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A_LMEQG3obQSDRhAHn2ze5PjV7rkxi82/view?usp=sharing
- Settings code revised for manifest v3 compatibility. You may need to reapply your settings.
- Added option to always spawn the Results tab next to the current tab (enabled by default).
- Closing the Results tab now returns to the tab you searched from.

0.6.1:
- Changed tab-creation setting to use \"active\" instead of \"selected\", since the latter was deprecated after Chrome 33.

0.6:
- Now with HTTPS, thanks to the site admin adding support. Merry Christmas!

0.5:
- Changed from background page to event page, so the extension process is only loaded when needed.
- Minimum Chrome version increased to 22, due to above change.
- permission removed, since the contextMenu permission made it redundant at some point.

0.4:
- Updated to extension manifest v2, per Chrome requirements going forward.
- Minimum Chrome version increased to 18, due to above change.
- Removed defunct iqdb.hanyuu.net mirror from options.

0.3.1:

Citytop (ID: 00000033009bfd92) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/01/2021 After many years of using this extension, it has not failed in proving a great reverse-image experience! The developers update the extension, a sign of strong product commitment on their part as many other developers throughout the Chrome store neglect their projects or works. IQDB's right-click context tool is great for browsers that don't already have a built-in image web search feature. It is particularly useful for anime related content. Highly recommend this for any anime/manga fan or enthusiast out there!
