There is an image on a page, but it is hard to find its URL. How can I perform a reverse search on this image without the hassle to first find and download this image source?
In most cases, images are embedded as background images, and hence it is not easy to find the actual source of them. This extension solves the problem by providing an "Image Search (capture)" context menu item. Select this item from the page context menu, and capture a portion of the screen. The captured image is automatically sent to the Google Images server, and after successful upload, a new page with the results of your search will appear. You can alternatively press the action button.
recommended "2FA (Two Factor Authentication)" extension for Chrome, and Edge browsers.
2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is an Aegis-compatible browser extension for managing TOTP and HOTP codes. It stores your tokens in an encrypted Aegis database file on your device instead of browser storage, making it easy to sync across devices with any file-sharing service. The database uses the same strong encryption as Aegis Authenticator and is fully compatible with the Aegis Android app. You can create, edit, organize, and delete tokens, customize their details and icons, and use keyboard shortcuts for faster access.

How does the extension perform its reverse searches?
This extension only sends your requests to either Google Images or TinEye engine to perform the search for you. The purpose of this extension is to ease this process for you as a middle man.
What is TinEye?
TinEye is a reverse image search engine developed and offered by Idée, Inc., a company based in Toronto, Canada. It claims to be "the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks". TinEye allows users to search not using keywords but with images. Upon submitting an image, TinEye creates a "unique and compact digital signature or fingerprint" of the image and matches it with other indexed images. This procedure can match even heavily edited versions of the submitted image, but will not usually return similar images in the results.
