Google no longer providing original URL in AMP for image search results

Replace !g with !s to get Startpage results, which is basically proxied Google results. Although I would advise just not relying on Google at all. The perception is that it's better, but in recent years I've found Google results to be total trash.

Yeah, definitely, I'll try to replace !g with !s in the future. It is my intention to replace whatever google services I can. But admittedly, since this change is mostly motivated by personal ethics and a desire not to give away my private info (as opposed to issues with the platforms themselves, in terms of functionality), it is a bit rough to adjust to some changes.

Unfortunately, the results Google feeds to Startpage are degraded and suffer from the same relevance issues DDG has.

Startpage is really interesting, appreciate this! I too !g more often than I'd like, I'll try !s.
