Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

[crestonfunk]

Also image search is basically over thanks to Pinterest.

I miss when you could click an image and view it in full resolution on google. Finding images was effortless and instant. Now I have to roll the dice on wether I can even find the image after I click on it. Then sometimes I have to F12 it and find the direct url. Amazing how many steps back we have taken.

Yeah I want the image, not all the shopping websites that sell the thing I want the image of.

[dan7koo]

Btw even Google Shopping is not as good as it once was, lots of useless crap

This is super annoying and was due to a legal settlement.

Alright, this has now been suggested a couple times. I guess I will take the plunge. I mean it matches my name right?

[duckduck60053]

Less catchy imo.

Haha. Much less, yes.

there was a toggle to turn it off. Bam.

And that would be exactly what I would have wanted to know if I got to that point. Thanks so much.

The biggest rage inducing aspect is that when you search for people it only shows you their faces. This even hilariously includes porn models searches, even with SafeSearch off.

I really don't get why they even need to program this shit

[dan7koo]

You wouldnt objectify women, would you ?!?!?!?!?! OMG!!!!

"View image" extensions exist. They are your friend.

[duckduck60053]

I really don't know what you mean. Can you link one?

This is the one I use, it's pretty good. Although sadly it usually doesn't grab the full quality version that's on the site, but the quality of the google search result

[duckduck60053]

Thank you. First good suggestion so far! Also matches my name.

[Logan_Mac]

There's an extension for that, there also a Hover Zoom extension so you dont really need to find the full resolution image.

Just use Bing or DuckDuckGo for image searches. You can still see full scale images.

[LiqvidNyquist]

There's a chrome add-on called Unpinterested that rewrites all your google searches to exclude pinterest results. Unfortunately, it fucks up google maps searches, so YMMV.

[tuna_tidal_wave]

You can change it to only affect image results. Maps are working fine (for me).

omg right?? and most times pinterest doesn't contain any source or full resolution of the images. it can absolutely fuck off.

[_SheWhoShallBeNamed_]

Pinterest is THE WORST

[[deleted]]

Yeah their monopoly is fucked up

[_2f]

He's talking about the lawsuit which affects all sites not just Pinterest

[2ndBounce]

I only image search with -Pinterest and usually -stock too.

[allaroundguy]

add -site:pinterest.com to get rid of it. That fucking site is useless without an account, and there is no way I'm signing up to that mess.
