[FEATURE] Improve view image facility to fetch remotely

[Aikatsui]

Describe the feature you'd like to see added
I know this is time consuming task but like to suggest

The view image component

Add two buttons:

1. Direct: Open the URL in new tab (what view image does now)
2. View image: Load and display full size / max res. image on browser

If public instance maintainer thinks that is consuming bandwidth; if has option, he/she can disable view image option

This is an enhancement suggestion for retrieve specific image using the server and deliver / display it in requester's browser. Then, user doesn't need visit to thirdparty sites for view or download them.

E.g. display in pop-up window without affect to background (behind) search result, order or else.

The link should already give the max resolution available.

@DUOLabs333 No. you haven't understood the feature request.

Still not?

Ah, so basically do what whoogle does already for the thumbnails (proxy the image through whoogle) but for the full res. image? Or do what Google Images does, showing the image without being directed to the site (I'm pretty sure it still pulls the image from the 3rd-party site while doing this though).

E.g. display in pop-up window or other UI/UX.

Yes and,

(I'm pretty sure it still pulls the image from the 3rd-party site while doing this though).

Ofcourse, google doesn't do that and they let user (user's browser) to pull image from source URL
And so i mean just pull the user selected image (when pressed view image) using whoogle hosted server and display

If public instance maintainer thinks that is consuming bandwidth; if has option, he/she can disable view image option

Hmmm, this behavior will probably require some JS, which is outside my expertise.

Yes, that's what I meant, not that it proxies the images.

Either way, what would the difference be, whether you go to the image directly, or see it in the Image page?

Either way, what would the difference be, whether you go to the image directly,

For it, need a new button as mentioned above e.g. "direct" - it will open full res. image (source URL) in new tab (the thing whoogle does now)

or see it in the Image page?

Or do what Google Images does, showing the image without being directed to the site

Yes and,

Yes+ (Also, pulls image remotely)
