    Not being able to open image in new tab and download them anymore has made it functionally useless for me.

      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.

      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.
