======================================================================
This script is no longer under active development...

Too many sites are changing the way they represent images / thumbnails, especially google meaning that the maintenance of the script is becoming a burden.

If anyone wants to take this code and re-jig it or update this code please just email me contact me

Shows the full image on image hover. Can also add a direct link in order to save proper image or relink the thumnail to go directly to the real image. Ctrl + p or ctrl + y in the search box to open preferences. Also works for a few other random sites... as per request Features:
  • Unobtrusive, just does its thing and nothing else

  • Relink if some sites annoy you
  • User preferences for
    • max width of image

Sites supported known to work on occasionally:
  • google image search
  • yahoo image search
  • bing image search
  • last fm (user profile pics)
  • flickr
Potential improvements (getting there slowly!):
  • support more sites (please suggest the ones you use)
  • keyboard support
CURRENT ISSUES: (plz let me know if you find any)
  • preferences look horrible! sorry
  • some images dont display (need to diagnose this based on the URL - most often caused by image actually not being available anymore but cached by google etc)
  • relink preference not working for bing - actually make that bing is being very temperamental
