- Rated 2 out of 5by Barmanji Jr., 5 months agoApparantly if you disable all the search engines to work it only for google , it wont ask or pop the dialogue box anymore, But you won't be able to access the settings or context menu and you have to reinstall it that's just insanely annoying not gonna lie.

posted 5 months agoThe extension allows you to configure the toolbar button as a shortcut for quickly searching with a single search engine or a group of search engines. The toolbar button opens a popup by default, where you can select a search engine, and there is also a button for opening the extension's options.
Though that's not the standard way of accessing a browser extension's options, it was just added to the popup as a convenience. All browsers have buttons for opening options on the management pages of extensions. Visit about:addons to open the options page of your extensions. - Rated 2 out of 5by MahdeenSky, 6 months agoCan you please add google lens? instead of google image search, since that's pretty much useless.
Developer response
posted 6 months agoGoogle Lens is already supported, you can enable the search engine from the extension's options. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16315383, 8 months agoGoogle reverse search has stopped working for months now
- Rated 2 out of 5by schwarzeabyss, 10 months agoUsed to be great for reverse searching images on google but unfortunately the extension no longer uses google images directly but isntead does a standard google search.
To make matters worse, it started adding barely relevant keywords/text to the search which has sharply reduced the relevance of the final search results.Developer response
posted 10 months agoThe extension uploads the image you select to the image search service, and does not add keywords to searches.
What you're experiencing is Google altering the search results page for reverse image searches, which is outside the control of the extension. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17671507, a year agoWorked fine, but recently started adding search keywords on its own. The image isn't searched, only the keywords it adds are.
Developer response
posted a year agoThe extension cannot add keywords to image searches, that's probably done by the search engine by classifying the image. Open an issue on GitHub if you need help, and please start by mentioning which search engine you're using.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17450898, 2 years agoCan you add the possibility to add other search engine (brave, mozilla firefox, duck duck go, écosia...) ?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Susmoy, 2 years agoI thought it has a selection option to select the specific part of a picture. But instead it selects the full picture to search.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15291916, 5 years agoA competent enough add-on, works well. However I detest the beg screen that I was surprised with. I would rather not see such a thing, and can find no setting for it.
Edit to add: I accept that you may need support. I believe you should find a less galling way to get that support. I abhor having my day interrupted for even one second by a program I have already installed asking me for money. I will not be pleased if that screen shows again, and you have still offered no way to prevent it.
