The thing I found ridiculous about Google today is the image reverse search, unusable, but I have an extension to use the previous one before Google Lens was a thing.

What’s the name of the extension? Didn’t know you could use the old Google images.

  Maybe they were referring to my extension :), as of now you can still access the old search results. https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image

The classic reverse image search results from Google will not be around for much longer, I've been getting reports about my browser extension no longer working with Google Images in some regions. Yandex Images also possibly going away or becoming heavily censored is also an issue for journalists and researchers, since it is the best performing publicly available reverse image search engine.

  What, you don't like the reverse image product search? You want actual... images? Not thumbnails of stuff you can buy from rando websites? How anti-consumer of you!

    The problem is that many times I get no results. Absolutely nothing.
