About View original image from Google Images
Google Image View Original is an efficiency enhancement tool designed specifically for Google Image Search, allowing you to skip the cumbersome preview panel and directly view the full-size original image. On the Google Image Search results page (tbm=isch), simply click any thumbnail, and the extension will automatically intercept the click event, extract the original image link (imgurl parameter), and immediately open the full-size original image in a new window. No need to click the "View Original" button or wait for the preview panel to load; you're directly in front of the target image. The extension also automatically handles dynamically loaded content on the image search results page. Whether you're scrolling to load more images or turning pages, all new thumbnail clicks will be automatically captured. Additionally, if you accidentally open a Google image preview page (imgres page), the extension will automatically redirect you to the original image URL. The extension is developed based on Manifest V3, does not request any permissions (no permissions field), runs only under the Google domain, and does not collect any user data.
