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

      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.

      There is an extension for that, available on Firefox and Chrome. I couldn’t use image search without it, to be honest.
