Include the /imgres pages too?

Wait nevermind. The previous poster had the answer. Just add:

Thanks for updating the script and thank you for providing the script in the first place. You are a lifesaver. I wish that I could grab the Google developers by the balls and crush them like grapes. They are idiots. They added target="_blank" to all the View Image links and a dozen people complained but they still left it like that since Feb 2016. I can't think of any reason why it would be beneficial to Google searchers to have additional tabs open in their browser window. I sometimes open 4-10 (and even more) image pages at a time and I don't want double the number of tabs open or have to do quadruple (or more) the number of steps and clicks just to find and test out different images. You saved us from the Hell that Google put us through. So thank you.
