Not working again for me since last chrome update...is there a fix again?
A true godsend. It's actually a big improvement on Chrome's (annoyingly removed) "Search By Image" feature. Google Lens is still useless. You can have the option to select the specific image & the actual image can be sent for processing instead of just the URL. Not to mention support for many other services.
Excellent Program :D
