Not only regulations, Chrome's builtin image search uses Google Lens to find products to sell you instead of simple reverse searches. It has become useless.

- essentia0 4y agoAgreed, nobody's life improved after they switched to that. There's stll a "Find image source" button above the picture in Google Lens that more or less does what you want
- MonkeyMalarky 4y ago100% this. Google Lense is a product search engine, not image search.
- recrof 4y agonitpick: "lense" is not a word.
- mkl 4y agoAgreed. You can currently do two-step process to get to the old useful search by clicking "Find image source" in the side-bar Lens results, but it's inconvenient enough that I barely use it any more. In some browsers/profiles I use a "Search by Image" extension that still works properly. When Chrome first made Lens the built-in image search, there was a way to turn it off. Does anyone know if that's still possible by some more-hidden method?
- Psype 4y agoTotally. Even the regular search is mostly made of selling links. And in quantity, it seems like 9/10th of the content is gone.
