How to recover the button «See image» in Google Chrome and Firefox

The last case is found in Google's decision to eliminate the option See image from the image search section of its search engine. The reason is none other than the lawsuit that the giant of the image banks Getty, filed against Google.

One of the functions that affect all users is the elimination of the See image button, when we did a search for images, a button that opened the image in the browser and that It allowed us to download it without having to access the website. Another of the agreements reached by both companies consists of adding a caption to the image in which it is reported that it may be subject to copyright.

The elimination of this function has not been amusing to many users, especially those who we are continually forced to search for images in Google to include them in articles without going any further. But as expected, the community got to work as soon as we heard the news and 24 hours later we already have a solution to this little-big problem in the form of an extension.
