#12Browser extension that restores functionality by end of the week?
(At least Bing has really good image search.)
Re: Google removes ‘view image’ button from search results
#13I think this will lead people to search for better alternatives. Removing the core part of a major product won't do any good to google.
The view page button is often broken and shows a page which doesn't even contain the searched image.

#14This only stops people who don't know how to "right click"
That doesn't seem to work either. If you right click and copy image address / open in new tab, the website opens and not the image itself.

I don't think Google likes it either.

Couldn't they just introduce a change that would only affect certain websites such as getty?
That would be more logical than completely destroying how image search is meant to be.

#18I'm going to play devils advocate here and say this is a good change. If google was scaping the text of sites and only displaying that, would we think that was ok? Just like google search, this is about giving you a preview, then go to the source. If you want the image, we all know how to find it, get it. How big of an annoyance is this?
Whatever Google does, they will be called evil for it.

I had a feeling the internet copyright fun police had to be involved somewhere. No way Google decides to cripple their product that badly without some kind of legal pressure. It would be funny albeit highly abusive of their position for Google to completely delist Getty from their services, not to damage their business but to prevent copyright infringement of course.

This morning everyone hated Google for hosting news pages on their AMP cache, tonight everyone hates Google for NOT hosting images on their image cache.
