Get back view Image button – Google image search is the largest source of images. Recently, Google has removed “view image” button from image search result. Means, now people can no longer Navigate pictures, from Google search. And, cannot download images directly from search results, for later use. So, now google image search will only provide “visit” and save button. And, that visit button will navigate you to the host site.
Google said that – Change had been made to help connect users and useful websites. Because visit button will redirect people to the host site (Original source of image). And then the user needs to comply that site rules to download the image. Previously, People were able to look at the only picture from the Google Image Search. And they didn’t need to visit the host site. But now if you want to download the image in original size, then you need to visit the host page or site.
But still, if you want to get back view Image button in Google Image Search. Then there is the solution for you, By using an extension you can bring view image button back to search results. Currently, this extension is only available for Chrome and Firefox browser.
