Google's "View Image" Button Returns With This Chrome Extension

[rgMekanic]

Last Friday, Montu depressed everyone when we reported that Google had removed the View Image button from Google Image Search. Well I am here today to lift your spirits and report that an extension for Chrome simply titled "View image" brings the button back exactly how it was before Google removed it. The extension is offered by Joshua, and has been installed over 25,500 times at the time of writing. The code is also available on GitHub.

Re-implements the Google Images' "View Image" and "Search by Image" buttons.
