More Monkey Business
In my attempt to make GreaseMonkey do everything ever related to page rewriting in Firefox, I converted roachfiend’s Google Images Re-linker to a GreaseMonkey script.
I just got his permission to post this, so you can snag it here. It’s purpose …
March 7th, 2005 at 11:52 am
One of the GreaseMonkey guys left a comment on my blog about my implementation of this and made a really good suggestion. He pointed out that instead of using a regex to replace any space characters there was a javascript function that would do the job for any specially-encoded characters.
Basically, it was replacing this: googLinks[x].href = gmatch[1].replace(/\%2520/g,’%20′);
With this: googLinks[x].href = decodeURI(gmatch[1]);
I’ve tried it out in my script and it appears to work, but I didn’t notice a problem before either. :)
March 7th, 2005 at 7:21 pm
That’s a good suggestion, I’ll look into it to see if it works okay. That way if any other special character found itself in a photo caption it would be taken care of as well.
March 8th, 2005 at 8:53 am
Ok, upped the version to 0.1.2 with the new decodeURI function, thanks for the suggestion, Tivac.

Excellent extension, but I had an idea / suggestion that would, in my eyes at least, make it that much better. I’m on dial-up, so a full page of Google Image results takes somewhere in the range of thirty seconds – one minute to fully load. Now, I’m not sure if this is a known behavior or not, but your extension won’t work until the results page (including thumbnails) has fully loaded… so if the picture I want is in the first row of results, your extension is useless unless I wait for the entire page to load.
So, my question / suggestion… would it be possible to have it auto-rewrite the image URL’s as the page loads instead of waiting until the page has completely loaded?
March 10th, 2005 at 4:42 pm
Unfortunately this isn’t possible, to my knowledge. The script does a mass search and replace, and it only loads after the page is complete.
What you can do, however, is use a third-party proxy filtering software like Privoxy or Proxomitron. These will allow you to do complex search and replace features before and/or during a page load.
March 11th, 2005 at 3:26 am
ahh, now that makes some sense. I’ll check out the programs you suggested and see if I can get either to work out on my setup. Thanks!
March 19th, 2005 at 1:40 pm
how do i override the image relinker, if i want to see the source site?
March 27th, 2005 at 2:53 pm
Hi there,
I often use images.google.co.uk, but the extension only seems to work on images.google.com. Would it be possible to have the extension work on images.google.* ?
Cheers
March 27th, 2005 at 3:04 pm
Richard, it has supported all variants of google images since 0.1.
images.google.co.uk works for me.

Hey, this is pretty cool, but sometimes it’s nice to see the original page, so…
could you make the green URL text under the images link to the page the image was found on? Sometimes whats shown gets shortend so a copy & paste job won’t work, nor plain-txt-to-url extensions.
April 13th, 2005 at 10:28 am
Doesn’t seem to work on the first google image link anytime you search (the one in the upper left corner). Apart from that, great extension!
April 19th, 2005 at 9:47 pm
Nice extension, removes a real pain in the ass behaviour. Seems to conflict with one of my other ext’s though – I use rocker mouse clicks to navigate back and forward through pages, and if I open a google thumbnail and then navigate back to the google thumb page using my “back” rocker gesture, I can’t then click on any of the other images. I use All In One Gestures to costomize my mouse clicks so I assume that’s where the conflict is, not sure if this problom would surface with other extensions that enable rocker gestures.
Anyway, not grumbling, just giving heads up in case you feel it’s worthy of looking at.
Thanks for the ext, and your others :)

I second that suggestion… suggestion being –

some websites are protecting thier images directly opened by other websites (hotlinking). is it possible, to add a link, that opens the images with the google-frame?
maybe link the green text below the images?
i tried a bit, but i don’t get it work :(
May 19th, 2005 at 12:28 am
Is there a similar script avaliable for Yahoo image search?
Thanks
June 28th, 2005 at 12:26 am
You said in regards to rewriting image URLs on the fly, “Unfortunately this isn’t possible, to my knowledge. The script does a mass search and replace, and it only loads after the page is complete.”
I’ve used CustomizeGoogle extension, and it somehow does rewrite the URLs while the images load. I hope you find a way to rewrite the URLs, because I don’t like using CustomizeGoogle.
June 30th, 2005 at 8:52 am
Sorry to go a bit off topic, all my searches for bugmenot lead here.
Can anyone post the url where i can download this extension ?
June 30th, 2005 at 9:00 am
Go to the top of the page and click on “extensions”. Then you’ll find it among the rest of them.
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:32 pm
Nice work!
July 3rd, 2005 at 6:35 pm
Eric,
For future build of this extension, is it possible to include a relinker to Google and Yahoo’s Image and Video?
Btw, I love this extension!
July 12th, 2005 at 1:29 am
So very glad I found this truly great site :-)
July 20th, 2005 at 2:58 pm
My all-time favorite extension, warts and all. Thanks for the good work.
October 26th, 2005 at 1:41 pm
I just tried to install this extension but wasn’t able to. But when I went to Image.Google…It looks like google has already implemented something like this. It now has 2 links just underneath the image…[Origin Image] which takes you straight to the pic…and [Origin Page] which takes you straight to the page the image comes from.
October 26th, 2005 at 1:44 pm
Or has this extension been install into my firefox…? I don’t see the extension in the list…hmmm. If it’s already been installed…Great Job…it is the best extension….but why did firefox say that It wasn’t able to install the extension…and it’s not on the list?
October 31st, 2005 at 1:17 pm
This is one of my favourite and most beloved extensions, though sometimes it is fun to see the page containing the image (but it’s easy to play with the addess bar…)
I just installed the new 0.3 version, but cannot find a “what’s new” list, apart from the “Flock” thing.
Go on, Eric!
October 31st, 2005 at 2:03 pm
JiN, it’s because you’ve already have CustomizeGoogle installed, wich has the “Google Image Re-Linker” code included and also adds both “Origin Image” and “Origin Page” to the Google Images Search page.
October 31st, 2005 at 8:10 pm
Hi Eric,
I think that this extension is really useful. I would like to propose you a version a little modified. I have used a tutorial to make the description translatable. This way the description changes with language of the browser. If you want to contact me I can give you my modified file but if you prefer you can find here (http://goofy37.perso.cegetel.net/tutolocdescEn.html) the simply guide that I have used.
Thanks in advance

Will this work with Firefox 1.5 (final)? Thanks and keep up the good work! :-)
December 18th, 2005 at 10:46 pm
Could you add support for other countries? Like images.google.co.uk?
Thanks, great extentions.
December 22nd, 2005 at 7:42 am
There is the bug: url-encoded links.
As I see, Google URL-encode links like
website.com/images.cgi?img=001&size=big
into
website.com/images.cgi%3Fimg%3D001%26size%3Dbig
So, your plugin should not copy links directly, but decode the image links before.
January 5th, 2006 at 8:25 am
yo dudes i tried it and i think its brill thanks lol i use it in school and its gr8
February 25th, 2006 at 5:52 am
Would it be possible to modify this extension to do something along the same lines, but not for image searching: I could really use an extension for google web search that takes you straight to the “cached text only” version of a page when you click on the “cached” link, instead of the normal cached copy?
February 25th, 2006 at 9:54 pm
Question. The frame in google images. when you click a thumbnail and the page frames, does the website the image comes from go through google to get to you, or does it have you link directly to the site?
March 26th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
gr8 script
April 3rd, 2006 at 4:27 am
This is a nice extension, but you should just get CustomizeGoogle. It does this and musch more. You can find it at the Mozilla Add-Ons Website (http://addons.mozilla.com)
June 28th, 2006 at 11:12 am
The best place to go for this is http://www.mediamingle.com This is the google image search with images that load up on the same screen.
August 4th, 2006 at 3:46 pm
Finally found a download link for Ketjap 1.0 (there’s not one and the referenced link above), but it doesn’t seem to do the Yahoo Images re-linking correctly.
Whenever I click on a Yahoo thumbnail image, it takes me to a W3C page talking about HTTP?? (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/)
Any ideas?
August 16th, 2006 at 8:44 am
this is a great plugin that people will like. Too bad my wife hates the roach on the bottom right
September 22nd, 2006 at 9:30 am
I’m afraid that this plugin has been causing crashes on my machine when I scroll rapidly through larger webpages. Let me know if you want details to debug it; I’m using Mozilla 1.5.0.7. with loads of other plugins, so it may be conflicting with one of them in some way. Sorry to be so negative!

Just a general question about modifying this extension – I’d like to base a completely new extension on your code (with credit, of course) would if work for me to just unzip the .xpi and .jar files and edit away then re-zip the files or do I need any other files outside the .xpi in order to achieve this?
Thanks.

[...] It’s available as both a Firefox extension or Greasemonkey script. I prefer the Greasemonkey script, since if for some reason I do want to see the framed page, I can just disable Greasemonkey in the statusbar and reload the page; disabling the extension is comparatively a bit of a pain.
