The new design splits the page vertically, when you click on a picture. And its purpose, which is quite confusing, is to follow a second track of searches related to that picture.
But that just makes the usage confusing. I want to click on the picture in order to see it in magnification mode, to have it fill the browser window. This was the prior design. It worked perfectly, and allowed me to quickly see the picture I want, in a magnified mode.
But instead, with the new design, it opens the picture on the 2nd split screen, but the picture is practically the same size.
And to make matters worse, some of the pictures, like if they are portrait mode, does not magnify, so it makes it very difficult to see the details of the picture. I’d have to open up the source picture in another tab.
Someone must’ve thought this was a good idea, but to be honest, it sucks.
And also, the split screens with dual scrolling behaviors, is incredibly frustrating to use. Half the time, I’m scrolling on the wrong half of the page.
The image search is now such a frustrating experience, that I try to use other search engines for a better experience.
