Vivaldi, which is also based on Chromium, supports the 'search for image' option in its latest version. All of these extensions add options to Chrome to look up an image on Google Images.Īnother option that Chrome users have is to switch to the Vivaldi browser.
Chrome users may install extensions, such as Search by Image, Reverse Image Search or Huntress Reverse Image Search. There is no longer an option to restore the classic reverse image searching functionality in Chrome. Users may click on the 'view all' link on the page, or scroll all the way down to activate the 'try it' link, which opens the Google Images website as well.
Results are limited, and links point to Google Images to get the full list of similar images and pages with that content. The lens website does highlight visual matches and links to pages that do contain similar images. Google Lens is not a reverse image search option, as it is designed to provide users with context and relevant information. With reverse image searching gone, users may use the Google Lens link instead. It is possible to go there manually to run the search for an image by uploading it to the service, but it requires several manual steps instead of just two clicks in Chrome. The reverse image search option loaded the Google Images website with the results of the query.
