This no longer works.

@bijij Hey, sorry for @ you, is this Userscript version outdated?

Not working for me, either.

@TS6ix2GaH3q679h5 You may have a new class name in your case, please follow the instruction in this post.

This doesn't work for me, nor does v3.7.0.5.

These are the classes I get when inspecting the image and the visit button respectively: -

class=r48jcc
class=j7ZI7c

Both are those are mentioned in your script, but I get no buttons. The layout has changed, not the class names I think.

@SigmaTheDJ That's weird, v3.7.0.5 from my gist where I used a dynamic approach to finding the class names should be working.

Regardless, even this version (4.1.1) has the class names that you mentioned declared statically. Do you have the View Image extension installed and enabled? You can't have both running at the same time, either the extension or the user script (this one or mine).

Make sure you don't have multiple scripts running and conflicting with each other because your issue seems to be something else entirely.

I only have your script enabled in ViolentMonkey. I have the extension installed, but disabled.

The script version has worked fine for me before, because I switched to it temporarily about 4 months ago when the extension stopped working.

View Image stopped working for me when Google changed the layout of how the buttons are displayed in Firefox.

For example, in FF, I see this: -

But in Chrome, for the same image, I see this: -

Previously, FF looked the same as Chrome with a button that had "Visit" written on it. Now it doesn't. When that changed is when View Image stopped working.

Given the visual changes, that may indicate deeper structural changes that break how View Image iterates through the elements. I cannot reproduce this, I'm on a desktop and I don't have that button layout in FF, mine is still showing classic like your second screenshot.

But still, your Chrome browser also doesn't seem to have View Image working either, are you using extension or userscript in it too? What OS do you have? What's your screen resolution?

I don't see a viable way to help in this situation... could you maybe post the exact HTML code that you get from FF's new visit button layout through inspection?

But still, your Chrome browser also doesn't seem to have View Image working either, are you using extension or userscript in it too? What OS do you have? What's your screen resolution?

I didn't have it installed in Chrome, as I just use that as a backup in case a site has an issue in FF.

I did try installing it just now though, and it does not work. Likewise with MS Edge. EDIT - I just tried the script version in Chrome and that doesn't work either.

I'm using Windows 10 and my screen resolution is 4K, but nothing has changed there.

could you maybe post the exact HTML code that you get from FF's new visit button layout through inspection?

I can see that it no longer uses the <span> element, which would typically be inside that div, before the svg:

<span class="iLgTbf CzIFEe cS4Vcb-pGL6qe-lfQAOe">Visit</span>

And also the fact that you can't get it working with other browsers, like Edge and Chrome, where the buttons have the classic visual seems to hint at further and deeper changes that need closer analysis and adjustments.

Try this, but if it doesn't work then I'm out of ideas due to not being able to reproduce and analyze:
Go to your user script in Violent Monkey and edit line 163, where you should add a comma and an svg tag, like so:

            viewImageButtonText = viewImageButton.querySelector('.pM4Snf, .KSvtLc, .Pw5kW, .q7UPLe, .K8E1Be, .pFBf7b, span, svg');

Probably won't work, but that's all I got at the moment. I wonder if there's a way to force Google Images to change its visual by changing any particular setting, most times it seems they just push stuff at random to a few users and not others. Bummer.

It partially works. Kinda.

After making that change, I get the 3 buttons I was getting before, then to the right of those I get "Search by image" and a view image button that has the same icon as the visit button.

Clicking "Search by image" just opens this page: -

https://www.google.co.uk/imghp?sbi=1

However, clicking the view image button on the right does work as intended and opens the image in a new tab.

So, you're definitely on to something.

The script doesn't work in iOS via the UserScripts safari extension, it says that the URLs don't match. I think that google could be using different set of classes/rules for mobile/iOS.

I guess Google keeps screwing up your awesome program... Weird how the Chrome extensions page actually has it listed, but the 'Add extension' button is disabled. I just now downloaded the zip file with the .js file in it. I have NO bloody idea what to do with it, can I add the folder with the .js file directly into my extensions page? I'm guessing not.

What now...? Is it time to give up : )

Thanks though for all your hard work Bro!

Ah! I guess maybe when Chrome last updated, your extension simply got removed. I just navigated to where I had unpacked your extension the last time and reloaded it! BAM! Works fine now :D

please update to 5.0.2
simply copying from here https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage/blob/master/js/content-script.js does not work on an older browser like a waterfox. and the userscript is the only option. because extensions are now manifest v3
