- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12796730, 8 days agoGot a new pop-up saying I had to share all my data or uninstall the extension. Fuck that. Definitely unistalling. There are already too many apps/services/whatever that try to harvest your data; I'm definitely not keeping an optional one. I guess the one point in their favor is that they notified me of it, but still, if the options are "let me harvest all your data carte blanche" and "uninstall," then there's not really a choice. I'm out, and everyone else should be too.

The TinEye Extension does not collect personal data or track the sites you visit. When you right-click an image and select 'Search image on TinEye,' this sends the image URL to our servers so you can see the search results on TinEye.com.
When you install our extension, we are required to get your permission to share these image URLs with the extension. This is the only data used for the reverse image search—TinEye does not collect or store any other information. - Rated 1 out of 5by Seddoo, 8 days agoTrying to get users to confirm their personal information with a forced window, as if it were a natural right to find out the sites they have entered, is data theft no matter where you look. It doesn't matter if I or someone else is looking for a similar photo, I don't have to give the producer of the program information about every site we visit, we're not. This issue may bother Mozilla Firefox a lot in the future. The decision is yours.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13404543, a year agoRarely comes up with any results. Google Images is far from perfect, but it's worlds better than this.

posted a year agoHello! Thanks for using TinEye! I'm sorry that TinEye did not find any results for your image search. We are constantly crawling the web, but the internet is vast, and we haven't crawled everything. Check back; we may find your images soon! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15024258, a year agoI couldn't remember the last time TinEye came up with a match, but then today, I did a TinEye search on a photo of a celebrity...and it came up with mostly .rs, .ua, and .pl domains, and none of the matches were helpful. Uninstalling.

We will be rolling out an update as soon as possible. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15260134, 2 years agoAs of a few days ago this add-on NO LONGER WORKS with Firefox. Despite claims by the developer reinstalling it WILL NOT WORK. I have done it multiple times, on two separate computers, with the same result each time. This add-on is broken. I just use Google Lens now.

- Rated 1 out of 5by merquis00, 3 years ago100+ fake reviews for this. 0 results for the most overused internet images? 4.2 rating? seriously?. clean up reviews please.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14108576, 3 years agoI'm doubtful this even works.
After installing TinEye, I performed side-by-side searches for three images off the web, Google's image search vs TinEye. Google found 9, 14, and 103 image matches; TinEye found zero, zero, and zero.
Uninstalled. - Rated 1 out of 5by M P, 3 years agoBarely works, if at all. Even when it worked it gave back very limited results.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15890019, 5 years agoTried TinEye a couple of times: first time a year or so ago, but it was not finding images: it FREQUENTLY returns ZERO RESULTS. Then I tried HagGeowanni's reverse image search add-on which found the exact image in 50 or more locations. I stuck with that right up until recently when a reset lost all my add-ons, so I was tempted to try TinEye again to see why so many find it so good. However it just doesn't work: I run a search, TinEye can't find the image AT ALL, yet when I use HG's add-on, it finds them every time, no problem. I presume that TinEye might be failing to work as my browser and add-ons are setup to stop my usage from being tracked.

posted 5 years agoI'm sorry that you're not able to find the images you're looking for using TinEye. Though we add tens of millions of images every day, there are images that we haven't found yet, or can't find due to restrictions, such as on most social media sites.
I can assure you that we do not track your usage in any way. If you believe that TinEye isn't working in your properly in your browser, I encourage to contact support@tineye.com and we can look in to that for you. - Rated 1 out of 5by Corvid, 5 years agoDownloaded on firefox. Right click on photos and nothing to do with TinEye shows up. Don't bother downloading this

posted 5 years agoHi Corvid. I'm sorry you're having trouble with the extension. Some websites block right clicks on images, in which case the extension can't work on it. I suggest trying on images on other sites; I know cnn.com images work. If it still doesn't appear, then there must be an installation problem. If you'd like to email support@tineye.com I'd be happy to help. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13591297, 5 years ago
