An extension called “Google Images Restored” available on Stores for Chrome and Firefox browsers will help you disable Google's new image design that was launched on August 6, 2019.
Last month, Google introduced a new design in image search results for desktop computers. With the new design, if you select an image, it appears on the right side of the page and remains as you scroll. This is supposed to make it easy for you to compare images with others in search results.
Google claims that this change is useful when shopping, while the selected image in the sidebar shows the brand, price, availability and reviews.
The extension, in addition to restoring Google images back to the old design, also adds an "image view" button and removes "relevant searches" from image search results.
The extension's developer says his extension "is trying to make Google images look like they were before they changed on August 6". The developer also says that he has tried to bring the old layout from scratch and admits it is not perfect, but he promises that there will be corrections.
After installing the extension, search for an image in Google search and click on "Images" or visit images.google.com.
What does the Google Images Restored extension do?
Restores the old Google Images
Adds an "image view" button
Removes relevant searches in image results
Certainly, more such extensions will appear soon. You can now try the Google Images Restored extension on Firefox and Chrome. You can see the source code of the extension at Github.
Personally, I will not use the Google Images Restored extension, as the new design seems very practical to me. Another reason is because I am not used to loading the browsers I use with peptics, other than the much needed ones. Too many extensions cause problems with the performance of the browser you are using.
