by Firefox user 13246615, 8 years agoThis extension is an excellent reverse image search tool that not only combines all the major RI search engines (google, tinyeye, bing, etc.) into a very helpful & convenient context menu action like most similar extensions, however this one has a number of additional subtle yet extremely useful features or tweaks that make it really stand out from the other extensions I've tried. E.g. the "Search by Image" sub-menu in the context menu allows you to right click on an image & choose which RI search engine you want to use or to use all of them which is nice; clicking on the extension toolbar button opens a pop-up bubble that has the same option to choose which SE to use but all adds in the top right corner the ability to control which image you want to search via 4 different options: select, select & upload (not sure how the first 2 are different though I assume the exact method of image extraction/how it's searched must be slightly different), upload-- opens a new tab where you can either drab & drop/paste, or browse for local files to use, & URL -- paste any image's url address to RI search. So far it seems to always work perfectly, looks clean & compact, & is small/efficient in terms of resources used. It's absolutely great for finding higher resolutions of images, to discover the video a screenshot/still originated from, figure out who/what/where, find other images in a gallery or get similar content/visuals, & many other research purposes. Definitely a must have extension! 5 Stars!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19806246, 15 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, 24 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, a month 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.
