A few days ago, Google removed a feature (https://mashable.com/2018/02/15/google-image-search-change/) that many people find quite usable: the ability to easily view — and download — an image found through Google's search engine.*
While the removal of this tool does make it a bit harder to download and potentially abuse copyrighted images, it also makes life a little harder for those who use those images in a fair way.*
However, a new Chrome extension fixes this in the simplest of ways: It brings back the "View Image" button exactly where it was before Google removed it.

Called simply "View image," the extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/view-image/jpcmhcelnjdmblfmjabdeclccemkghjk) worked as advertised, at least in my testing. At the time of writing, more than 8,000 people have downloaded, and the reviews are great.* Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/02/19/google-view-image-extension/)
