Photography Life has a good article on viewing exif data with multiple ways to do it and explains what exif data is for those who aren't sure. I downloaded the app for Chrome and tried it, it works fine and is faster than my cheapskate way of saving to my desktop and then viewing properties.
However I did find that some photos on UHH it only show minimal info while the "save as" and then view properties on my desktop shows more info.

I admit I have not read the linked article, but the amount of Exif date revealed by different readers varies WIDELY!! Some provide the very basics while some reveal PAGES of data, much of which is irrelevant to the majority of photographers but may be required info for forensic needs. Some even along for editing that Exif data.

Back in 2016 you (I think it was you????) recommended Picmeta's PIE. I got it (v6.95, current is v7.0) it pulls up tons of stuff, most useless most of the time and with the basics often hidden among all the rest of the stuff. For me it was a bit awkward to use and I never figured out how to connect to pictures unless I downloaded a copy to my desktop and then used PIE. Do you know of an easier way to use it?

It can read ANY image on your computers hard drive, or any attached external drive, card reader, or media device. Including a camera that is tethered.
Yes it was me that recommended it I am sure, I have been using it for about 8 years now, its the most complete Exif data reader I have ever found. Plus it can be customized to only show whatever data YOU wish to display rather than all data presented. I have mine customized to show only 28 entries, just the ones I need the most. Its a great tool, and totally FREE, although you can purchase the full version which is identical except for the fact that it allows you to edit the data and e en add files if you wish.

Thanks, on impulse I purchased the full version, and hardly use it. Today I did play with it a little and added it to my task bar to make it easier to access, maybe now I will use it. I did uncheck a box and reduced the lines of info by a lot. I will have to look into it more and customize it.

Is this product available for Mac's?

Sorry, no, PC only. I just looked it up while trying to find how to upgrade to the latest version since I lost my notebook with the passwords etc.

Is there any way to have my name ,address, etc permanently entered once (default) into the EXIF data instead of entering it manually on each photo?

Enter it into the shooting data of your camera under the copyright information.
