Search by Image by Armin Sebastian
Review by hackerb9
Rated 5 out of 5
by hackerb9, 3 years agoMany people have already mentioned how great the reverse image search is, but I want to point out that this extension also has a very powerful "OPEN IMAGE" option. Open Image, lets one see and save images that don't have IMG URLs.
For example, sites like artsandculture.google.com will send very high resolution images as tiled PNGs and use JavaScript to stitch them together. Each tile is just a data blob so all the other extensions I tried (Download All Images, Save Images, etc) failed to even detect that the image exists, much less let me save it.
I don't know how Search by Image is able to find images that other extensions miss, but I hope that eventually the author (Armin Sebastian @dessant) will create an extension that can download all such images from a page in a single click.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19806246, 8 days agoIt offers greater ease of searching for content without leaving the Firefox browser. Everything within this great tool gives you a superior search and innovation experience. However, I have a suggestion: adding image translation capabilities, whether for manga or comics, to make it an even more powerful tool. Thank you.

- Rated 3 out of 5by CM, 17 days agoI appreciate the functionality and convenience of this add-on, but I have a major concern regarding its use of Russian search engines. The Russian Federation is an aggressor state that launched a war against Ukraine, and its search engines are known to share users' data with state security services. In the settings, there is a "Yandex Host" option that cannot be removed, which effectively forces users to rely on infrastructure from a hostile and untrustworthy jurisdiction.
Using search engines from a country that is actively waging war against another European country is incompatible with basic European values and solidarity. While the add-on is otherwise convenient and effective, this design choice prevents me from giving it a rating higher than 3 stars. I strongly encourage the developer to remove Russian search providers or make them fully optional (disabled by default). - Rated 5 out of 5by tl, 21 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by tiksotrop, 2 months agoОтличное расширение, пользуюсь постоянно! Очень выручает при поиске источников изображений и проверке фактов. Огромная просьба к разработчику: добавьте, пожалуйста, в список поисковых систем возможность искать по картинке на Ozon.ru.
