Add back icons in front of search mode options in the pop-up menu
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Before the recent update, there were icons in front of each search mode options in the pop-up menu, as shown in this image from the README of the project:
However, these icons were removed after the recent update, as shown in this image:
As a long time user of the extension, it was very confusing when I tried to change options for the first time after updating to the new version, especially when you have also changed the name of some options. These icons are very intuitive and easy to understand at the first glance, and I wonder why you decided to remove them in the recent update.
Describe the solution you'd like Add these icons back please.
Yes please
having the website icons as well in the right-click menu can be useful too
@neoOpus The website favicons were already there in the context menu.
It doesn't seem so on my side

@neoOpus Extension version 4.4.0 is showing favicons on Firefox 96.0b5, maybe it's a bug of Edge. You should open a new issue for this.
The API for adding icons to context menu items is only supported by Firefox.
@dessant Thanks for the reply. Any thoughts on the original issue?
@mikelei8291, I'll look into adding an option for bringing back the icons.
Here's a preview of the new extension popup with menu icons.


it would be great to have the option to show the icons only on top as a toolbar (one less click)
@neoOpus, that would be nice to have, though the UI needs to be redesigned for that feature because there is not enough horizontal space on mobile. You can subscribe to this related issue, they will probably be implemeneted together: https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues/219
Fixed in version 5.5.0, the update should arrive in the next few days.
Thanks for addressing it. Excited for the update! 👍🎉
