Google is unusable now. Google images is the worst.
Not being able to open image in new tab and download them anymore has made it functionally useless for me.
Yeah same, it's so hard to open or download a pic now, I actually opened bing earlier out of frustration D':
Firefox is still out there, and great! You don't have to be beholden to chrome's bullshit.
There is an extension for that, available on Firefox and Chrome. I couldn't use image search without it, to be honest.
You suck, Getty Images.
Omg, thank you so much for this - I had no idea!
That's due to a lawsuit for copyrights... Google settled and made so users couldn't download the image from the Google app, they need to visit the site
Ok, but if I open the site and it's one of those automatically generated shit and the image is nowhere to be found...
And then the site doesn't even have that image and a lot of websites are starting to do it on purpose. Therefore, the search has failed.
It's over, google images is a bad product.
Blame Getty Images for that one
All my homies hate Getty. I'm still so pissed they bought Unsplash.
Snipping tool FTW.
Snipping tool for a high res jpg, a svg or a png? good luck with that.
Aah ok. Different target audience :)
On the plus side, now you have a reason to get an 8k monitor!
Yeah but you lose a ton of image resolution. The google preview isn't even close to full size in most cases.
Yeah I'm only thinking of on screen stuff, not print etc.
The enshittification is complete.
Been looking for this word, it's so perfectly succinct and evocative of the Web 3.0 sludgeworld.
Search engines are almost entirely useless now. As much as I'd love an indie alternative, sending out millions of webcrawlers seems prohibitively expensive.
