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

For people worried that for a reason or another dont trust add-ons, you can do the more intensive homemade encompass it all 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)
