Extension no longer works as of August 28th - Google changed layout

[SigmaTheDJ]

Google has changed the layout of their image search results and the "View image" and "Search by image" buttons no longer appear.

Here is an example when searching for "golden retriever" and clicking on one of the results: -

I'm using Firefox 116.0.3 on Windows 10 and version 4.1.0 of the extension.

Google is using a new class name for the Visit button for some people; temporary workaround: https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage/issues/268#issuecomment-1476294452

[SigmaTheDJ]

Unfortunately that workaround does not work. Literally nothing changes after disabling the extension and switching to that script.

Thank you, it worked perfectly for me

_NOTE TO ALL: Disable the extension for use the Tampermonkey script__

Hey all, I'll release a new version with updated classes later today.

Hi all, just an update. The most recent release was rejected on the Chrome WebStore, due to a bug the tester encountered.

I'm going to attempt to reproduce, fix and reapply in the coming days.

Got it Thank you

Is the manifest of the new release alright? I keep getting

Manifest file is missing or unreadable
Could not load manifest.

Same here.

Hi, is this one of the copies from an extension store, or using the release on GitHub? If the latter the manifest.json file needs to be edited for each browser now (due to divergence in manifest v3 impls)

[Spuner]

@bijij, why don't you update the Chrome extension?

[zelmor]

@bijij my bad for not paying attention, renaming manifest.base.json to manifest.json fixed my issue. Thank you.

[cuprousoxide]

@zelmor did you have to do anything to get the unpacked github release functioning other than renaming that one json file? I've got it loaded but it's not doing anything on my Arc browser.

Fwiw I tried running some of the user script gists in Arc's native script extension and that didn't work either.

[Asqii]

Userscript version is not working either (not sure if its been updated though)

[ner00]

@Asqii Which userscript doesn't work? This one: https://gist.github.com/ner00/ec9ae47e202b8e99f19be44a5af6baf3 or both?

The one linked in the readme

[ner00]

So not both then, ok.

Hi @bijij, any updates? As of today, your extension is still not working.

[jaredmcateer]

If you also install the "Google Images Restored" add-on this extension will work again. (I only tested on Firefox)

@jaredmcateer Thank you for your suggestion. Not what I intended, but still it works fine!

[jaredmcateer]

Totally, this is just a workaround, hopefully temporary

[nicolaasjan]

Meanwhile, the userscript from @ner00 still works (needs e.g. Violentmonkey extension).

[bijij]

Hi all, v5 of the extension has been released which should resolve these issues.

I'm waiting approval from Mozilla for Firefox, but the new version is available now for Chrome.

Thanks for your patience.
