    They've improved the images results page. Better than the older one actually!

    Do not want!

    There's no way to tell how many results you've got displayed on the page (the more you've got the less relevant to the search terms they appear to be).

    By not displayed the images in a tabular format you can get changing numbers of pictures every row leading to a very cluttered page.

    I now have to hover to see very basic image information like the image size and the domain where it's hosted.

    I'm aware that people are all "Eugh, change!", including me, but some of these really seem like a step backwards in terms of usability.

    Yeah the new image format is a pain in the arse. Much harder to get to the porn I want now. :(

    If you hold your cursor over the individual picture it will give you the image size and the website.

    I know :) But now there is no quick way for me to find a particular picture on a particular domain. Beforehand I could scan the whole page very quickly to find that information, now I cannot.

    It's a headwrecker... You can change it at the bottom though but it's still shlte.

    I may be a pigeon but at least I don't spend all of my time in Marks and Spencers.

    I don't see what's so bad about it.
    In fact, I kind of like it...

    Not one of genius, that's for sure.

    For those who haven't looked yet - and I'd advise you not to - the once-friendly Google Images has become a completely demented jumble of randomly sized, borderless images that mesh together into some incomprehensible, hellish collage.

    Cheers for posting that, I actually thought there was no end to the page I had to scroll so much but there it was "Switch to basic version". They should change that text to "Switch to better version" tbh

    Append site:domain.name to your search to limit to that domain. Even easier.

    DFD.
