Didn't see a thread on this. I have tried to copy and paste images and couldn't.

This week, Google Image Search is getting a lot less useful, with the removal of the "View Image" button. Before, users could search for an image and click the "View Image" button to download it directly without leaving Google or visiting the website. Now, Google Images is removing that button, hoping to encourage users to click through to the hosting website if they want to download an image.

There's always Yahoo images
 
this is it. this is the beginning of the downfall of Google.

Calling it now, 10 years from now people will barely remember what "google" is/was

They have been struggling a little and I was thinking the same. This is a big one. I hope their stock plummets.
 
I notice this a couple of days ago and was like WTF? I even pulled up other browsers to make it wasn't some kind of weird browser issue.

Already found a workaround though. Just right-click and select "Copy Image Location" and it copies the direct image URL to the clipboard.

Problem solved.

This is the way I always did it. Never clicked a view image button
 
Eh there's always a way around it.

I noticed it and gave zero fucks because I still managed to do it on my phone

Checkmate Getty

Also, when you can take a screenshot on any phone nowadays who cares anyway

I just open the image in a new tab on my tablet and copying the url if I need it.

A lot of people on Reddit are saying Bing. Google already is shit for anything remotely obscure. You have to put a "verbatim" option on to actually get what you searched for. Like they know what I want more than the words I put in. They fuckin give me results with the first two keywords removed. lol. they ignore the keywords of my search.
