- Rated 3 out of 5by BLKHS, sena iluWorked great in the past, but doesn't work with Google anymore. You're just forwarded to the Google Image search site and that's it.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13404543, 2 sni iluUsed to be a good extension for what it is. A lot of the search engines are garbage and not worth the time it takes to close the tab, but this did what it says until recently. I think container tabs broke it?
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nikita, 2 sni iluWhy does the extension suddenly needs access to clipboard for searching images displayed on the pages?
EDIT: I read the page dev linked to and I agree with some other users posting there. This clipboard search needs to be optional or not present at all. We can survive without searching images in clipboard.
But I also agree with the author that extensions seem to access a lot already on browser, so I guess it's up to the users to decide if it's worth it or not. Personally, I've not allowed it permission and disabled auto update for this extension for now. I'll change my rating to 3/5 instead of 1.
I've been using this extension for a while, gave it 5/5 initially, not sure why this clipboard image search was that crucial to add. I suggest breaking support for older browsers and allowing people to turn off access to key areas for certain features. People not upgrading older browsers are already under security threat anyway.Developer response
