This only stops people who don't know how to "right click"

That doesn't seem to work either. If you right click and copy image address / open in new tab, the website opens and not the image itself.

I think that used to happen on some sites with the button anyway. Not sure how it's implemented but it could be as simple as: append a querystring to image URLs, and if you hit the URL without the querystring, serve a page instead.

Still seems to be working for me, with latest chrome on macOS.

Works for me with a long-press in Safari.
