Bringin' old-school back to Google Images


Sick of the new "better" Google Image search yet? Recent needless-meddling improvements have irritated some users of Google's Image system. Here's a note for Google's UI team: If you're thinking about "fixing" something else this week, maybe you should wander to the cafeteria for some free fois gras instead.

Fret not disenfranchised Google user, there's a solution. Better still, it's easier than you'd think. Google Operating System writes, "I've heard that many people hate the new design of Google Image Search and want the old one back. It's pretty easy to do that, as Google shows the classic design if you disable JavaScript."

Followed by a simple explanation of how to disable Javascript for just images.google.com, it's the easiest fix for a botched user interface ever. I'm a heavy user of Google Images who noticed immediately that one of my most useful tools had undergone an Ajax-y nightmare makeover so, color me ecstatic.
