Well, technically "to help connect users and useful websites" is true.

You now have to visit the website that had the photo if you want to download the full-size version, whereas previously you could bypass the site and download it from Google Images directly.

In the same sense that ads "inform you about the existence of useful products".

It's technically true but also completely irrelevant.

I'm guessing that soon we'll have a browser extension that will do it for us.

This new move is QUITE annoying on mobile.

After a tip I've switched to an alternative search engine that still works in the old fashion

I don't normally do this because we aren't Reddit here, after all. But this is stupidly appropriate.
