How does Sup Forums feel about Google removing the "view image" button from its image search results? Has it prevented you from "stealing" images yet?

>right click
>Open image in new tab

it's because of their settlement with getty images

>using jewgle

Convinced me to switch to DDG, thanks Google.

I don't use that shitty botnet.

Made it unusable. If sites with the images actually posted them on the pages Google listed, it would be fine, but so often the image I went in for isn't even there anymore.

DDG, Startpage and even Bing are better.

>using other search engines
botnet or not, there are literally 0 good alternatives

Bing is actually much better for porn

i mean in general, of course bing is better only for porn.

Just take a screenshot

>right clicks on the image
Nice try, Google...

>write script to replace button
>they stole 12 minutes of my life
t-thanks getty images

You can download an extension to solve this, from the store. It's a non-issue.

Bing is the patrician choice. It is a goddamn shame really, Google's algorithms peaked sometime around 2009-2012. I remember back in the good old days you could do filetype searches for all sorts of good shit and you would get it because Google search was a product designed to be as good as possible. Search filetype mp4 House MD or some shit and you would find it.

Now Google has so many dicks in so many holes their products are compromised completely. Be it intellectual property cartels or political groups like SPLC attempting to stop "sensitive" results from appearing Google is actually total shit these days. It is a damn shame.

How so?

Actually great, now I can run bookmark scripts for image redirection right on the google image page

Qwant, DuckDuckGo, yandex.

Google has nsfw censorship

right click -> view image

Care to give getty the finger and share this script?

enjoy your thumbnails

I'm used to those being thumbnails too, but recently they seem to be the actual image. Maybe google gave them the finger by removing the button but replacing the thumbnail with the full image?

Yeah, that's what happens when I try it to. View Image gives the original full image from the website itself.

the only time thumbnails are displayed is when your browser cannot directly get the image from the URL given by google, which is literally the source now, instead of displaying some cached shit with seven pages long hashed garbage
For me, this was the one good thing google changed in a long time, considering not even a month ago all GRIS images were downscaled if you weren't sending them using specific APIs

Nope.
Try it before you post next time.

I'm 100% sure they did it to expose people to ads on the site

They did it because Getty sued the fuck out of them and forced them into it.

> using google search
> posting about it on Sup Forums

fuck off back to re dd it, startpage does not and will have this problem.

It was the thing that finally made i move away from google.

I'm such a piece of shit.

The same day there were multiple work arounds, add ons, and scripts.
The internet finds a way

greasemonkey

Geez, all these people saying "just use an extension" or "just right-click". You're just letting Google get away with it.

stop shitposting on every thread

>Extension to re-implement the "View Image" and "Search by image" buttons into google images.

broken

Remember that Getty can coerce other image search engines to remove View Image buttons.

Then why haven't they? Bing has an Alexa rank of 42. DuckDuckGo has an Alexa rank of 328.

The real issue here is the degree of control the government has over the internet. At some point, shouldn't it all be considered free speech?

lmaoing @ your life

And also Yandex has an Alexa rank of 20 and Startpage has an Alexa rank of 1270. These aren't unpopular search engines.

Almost forgot: Yahoo has an Alexa rank of 5, and yet still has a View Image button.

umm just did?
Did you ?

You can get it right back with a userscript the of ya'll shit flinging dumbasses I swear

I'd rather not have to modify my system as websites remove useful features. We're talking about google here; obviously there are workarounds.

i dont use google because im not a retard

>not copy link location and pasting it in the url bar

Cool thanks for your input faggot

I use Bing for images.

Half the fucking image search results are Pinterest, which is itself a lower rez repost with no sauce provided 50% of the time, and a link to search results from pinterest with the desired image found after a ton of scrolling at best the other 50%.

It's a sad state of affairs when I get better results by starting at pinterest then using reverse image search to find the original sauce on like artstation or deviantart or whatever. But then again all I use image search for is for /tg/ character art.

I've never used that button since I installed Imagus. I heard there's add-ons/extensions that bring back the button anyways.

Problem is when I'm on my phone

It loads the image, not a thumbnail.

This.

I installed an extension to bring it back.

i used to unironically believe duckduckgo was going to be shit too, just try it for a week and you’ll see how much better it is
