        I think there is some misunderstanding… there are a lot of ways of downloading a list of URLs. For videos I use yt-dlp.

        I didn’t know about IDM/IDX, I asume they are Internet Download Manager and Xtreme Download Manager, right? From what I see those are independent programs and not Firefox add-ons (correct me if I’m wrong).

        What I find weird is that, what Bazzacuda can achieve if I have multiple tabs with i.imgur.com/.../...jpg URLs does not work if I change the jpg extensions with mp4. But I’m probably missing something (or not explaining myself properly).

        Thanks!

            Got it, thanks for the patience :)

            It makes the job easier than reverse searching image with Yandex (which is the best method I use).

            Regarding reverse image search, this is the bookmarklet I use to lauch 5 different searches at once. On firefox you can set a keyword so I just type rev on the navbar on a tab with an image.

            pretty-print reverse image searches bookmarklet
            (function() {
                var url;
                var args = '%s';
                var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
                var imgIdx = undefined;
                if (imgs.length == 0) return;
                if (imgs.length > 1) {
                    if (args.length > 1) imgIdx = parseInt(args[1]);
                    if (imgIdx === undefined || isNaN(imgIdx) || imgIdx < 1 || imgIdx > imgs.length) {
                        numberImgs();
                        imgIdx = parseInt(prompt(`There are ${imgs.length} images, select index:`, 1));
                    }
                    if (isNaN(imgIdx) || imgIdx < 1 || imgIdx > imgs.length) return;
                    url = imgs[imgIdx - 1].src;
                } else {
                    url = imgs[0].src;
                }
                if (!url) return;
                url = encodeURIComponent(url);

                    var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
                    for (var img = 0; img < imgs.length; img++) {
                        var parent = imgs[img].parentElement;
                        if (!parent) continue;
                        var numberDiv = document.createElement("div");
                        numberDiv.innerHTML = 1 + img;
                        numberDiv.className = "tmpImgNumberDiv";
                        numberDiv.style.position = "absolute";
                        numberDiv.style.padding = "2px 9px 2px 6px";
                        numberDiv.style.background = "#f00";
                        numberDiv.style.color = "#fff";
                        numberDiv.style.zIndex = "9999";
                        numberDiv.style.lineHeight = "normal";
                        parent.prepend(numberDiv);
                    }
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        var imgNumbers = document.getElementsByClassName("tmpImgNumberDiv");
                        var idx = imgNumbers.length - 1;
                        while (idx >= 0) {
                            imgNumbers[idx].remove();
                            idx--;
                        }
                    }, 5000);
                }
            })();
            

             

            One-liner:

            javascript:(function() {var url;var args = '%s';var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");var imgIdx = undefined;if (imgs.length == 0) return;if (imgs.length > 1) {if (args.length > 1) imgIdx = parseInt(args[1]);if (imgIdx === undefined || isNaN(imgIdx) || imgIdx < 1 || imgIdx > imgs.length) {numberImgs();imgIdx = parseInt(prompt(`There are ${imgs.length} images, select index:`, 1));}if (isNaN(imgIdx) || imgIdx < 1 || imgIdx > imgs.length) return;url = imgs[imgIdx - 1].src;} else {url = imgs[0].src;}if (!url) return;url = encodeURIComponent(url);window.open("https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=" + url);window.open("https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=" + url);window.open("https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=" + url);window.open("https://www.tineye.com/search?url=" + url);window.open("https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=" + url);function numberImgs() {var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");for (var img = 0; img < imgs.length; img++) {var parent = imgs[img].parentElement;if (!parent) continue;var numberDiv = document.createElement("div");numberDiv.innerHTML = 1 + img;numberDiv.className = "tmpImgNumberDiv";numberDiv.style.position = "absolute";numberDiv.style.padding = "2px 9px 2px 6px";numberDiv.style.background = "#f00";numberDiv.style.color = "#fff";numberDiv.style.zIndex = "9999";numberDiv.style.lineHeight = "normal";parent.prepend(numberDiv);}setTimeout(function() {var imgNumbers = document.getElementsByClassName("tmpImgNumberDiv");var idx = imgNumbers.length - 1;while (idx >= 0) {imgNumbers[idx].remove();idx--;}}, 5000);}})();
            

            The 5 searches it launches are (replacing XXXX with the image URL):

            • Google: https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=XXXX
            • Bing: https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=XXXX
            • TinEye: https://www.tineye.com/search?url=XXXX
            • Yandex: https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=XXXX
            • SauceNAO: https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=XXXX

                An extension that does this with over 30 image search engines is Search By Image, a Mozilla recommended extension

                I don’t know how I missed that until now, thanks!! I will try it right now.

                I also use ImgOps.com

                Yeah, that’s what I was using for a while and what motivated me to write the bookmarklet to avoid going through it every time.

                Regarding the different searches, I foudn that they cover very different needs:

                • TinEye: usually the best when you want (almost) exact matches.
                • Yandex: probably the stronger as a general search
                • Google: in my experience, the best to “understand” the image and identify the object / subject even if there are no real matches for that image
                • Bing: you sometimes get lucky with it when the others fail
                • SauceNAO: the most convenient to find the original pages for DeviantArt, ArtStation and Twitter images.
