You can middle click on the image to open it in a new tab and middle click on the image name at the bottom to open its page in a new tab. See here.

If it is difficult to middle click (i.e. on a touchpad), you can always right click and choose "open in a new tab"

Actually I made a modification, left cllick to name opens it in new tab. But could you help me to also open image in new tab via left click?

span.innerHTML = '

The problem is that there's some google code which messes up the links: when you click instead of opening the link as supposed, a javascript function read the href attribute and redirect you to the new page. This is why the target="_blank" does not work for the images. The a.addEventListener('click', stopEvent, false) should prevent also this behavior but, for some reasons I don't understand, it does not.

The easiest hack that I found consist in adding

GM_openInTab(event.target.parentElement.href)
event.stopPropagation() 

to the beginning of the stopEvent function.

Remember also to replace // @grant none with // @grant GM_openInTab

Hi, there's a bug in new modification; It opens image in new tab but it also opens the image in Google Image search tab.
Video to show it:

Yes, the hack is more difficult than I thought because there are different js events to block. You can try this one

it appears to work correctly.
