Wondered why Google removed the "view image" button on Google Images?

You can do the more intensive homemade workaround.

Press F12.

Go to network

Reload

Filter the network, easiest is to filter it based on the extension: jpg, png, etc.

You will get all the incoming files matching the filter that you used as well as a small preview to make sure its what you need.

Click on it

In the right panel you will get the *Request URL*

Ctrl-C

Open new tab

Ctrl-V

Enter.

You'll get your picture.

This also works for Instagram and other sites that disabled view image / save link as etc.

This method can be even used for using something like BSPlayer or VLC to directly stream stuff from online websites like putlocker / solarmovies or even Twitch and Facebook streams (Facebook has a weird encoding like mpd or something)
