Linkthing 2.0.8 fixes Google Image Search link rewriting once and for all
Google changed the format of image search results again, again breaking Linkthing’s Google image search link rewriting feature. I’ve fixed it for good this time by removing the feature. Haha—take that, Google!
If there’s any interest, I may write a separate extension to tackle the problem from a different angle.
On the positive side, this version of Linkthing attempts to improve the ordering of new background tabs from links when you’ve enabled the option to place new tabs to the right of the current tab. Until now, when you opened a bunch of links on a single page in background tabs, each new tab would be placed immediately to the right of the current tab, so that the set of tabs opened from that page would appear in reverse order of creation. Now, Linkthing will try to place each new tab to the right of the last tab opened from the same page. This has the effect of placing them in the correct order of creation.
Unfortunately, due to an apparent bug in Safari, it doesn’t always work, and sometimes you will see a tab get placed somewhere in the middle of other tabs opened from the same page. If the new behavior is troublesome, you can download the previous version of Linkthing from here.
