Tell HN: Whole Yandex Git repository leaked

Not only regulations, Chrome's builtin image search uses Google Lens to find products to sell you instead of simple reverse searches. It has become useless.

100% this. Google Lense is a product search engine, not image search.

nitpick: "lense" is not a word.

Agreed. You can currently do two-step process to get to the old useful search by clicking "Find image source" in the side-bar Lens results, but it's inconvenient enough that I barely use it any more.

In some browsers/profiles I use a "Search by Image" extension that still works properly.

When Chrome first made Lens the built-in image search, there was a way to turn it off. Does anyone know if that's still possible by some more-hidden method?

Totally. Even the regular search is mostly made of selling links.

And in quantity, it seems like 9/10th of the content is gone.

Agreed, nobody's life improved after they switched to that. There's stll a "Find image source" button above the picture in Google Lens that more or less does what you want
