The bundled uses manifest_version 2 and only the 'contextMenus' permission, while the live listing shows manifest_version 3, an added 'storage' permission, and a 'web_accessible_resources' entry. This discrepancy means the published extension may have additional capabilities (e.g., storing data, accessing cross-origin resources) not present in the reviewed source bundle. While the change could be a benign version upgrade, it should be investigated to confirm the live extension does not introduce unauthorized data collection or tracking.
Analyst notes
The reviewed source code (manifest v2, version 1.4.8) is a minimal reverse image search extension that uses only the contextMenus API to send image URLs to well-known search engines. It contains no tracking, network requests to developer-owned servers, or unauthorized data collection. The manifest mismatch (bundled v2 vs. published v3 with added 'storage' permission and 'web_accessible_resources') suggests the live extension may have been updated, but the core code in the reviewed bundle is benign. The publisher has a strong reputation, the extension is long-standing with many users, and the stated purpose matches the implementation.

Read the publisher’s full description
This extension allows to perform an inverse image search by right-clicking onto any image in a web site. You can configure the context menu to contain either a single button with your default search engine, or a cascaded menu with all included search engines. You can also add custom search engines through the options menu. RevEye is free and open source software. To minimize its memory footprint in your browser, it is written in pure vanilla JavaScript and it does not use any of the fancy JavaScript frameworks.
