Google Image Search gets a new look, becomes even more useful
First, the new results page: it's denser with images than ever before, and you can view 1,000 images in one scrolling page before you have to jump to another one. The thumbnails in the results are larger than before, too, which gives you much better idea of what's worth clicking on. There are also new keyboard shortcuts (page up/page down) to make browsing faster.
When you do click on an image, you're no longer presented with an annoying frame at the top of your browser window. That frame was the worst thing about Google Image Search, and I am quite glad they removed it. Instead, the image appears, full size, in a lightbox above a greyed-out version of the page where it appears. If you want to view the whole page, just click outside the image.

Doesn't seem to have been given a full rollout yet (I can't view it), but it sounds like they just upscaled the mobile version, which is not a bad thing at all.

I really like it, however I wish the image pop-ups were quicker.

I like it, but Web of Trust (WOT) no longer seems to be tagging the images.

You know it is better than bing cause i'll actually use it... Who uses bing?

i despise it. it still features the worst mistake the once tried interface had: less information. i have to hover every image to see information that was there before without me having to request it. this sucks. and the little useless button on the left to enable the showing of resolutions is just not the same. the last site i expect to be enhanced visually is google. it is, for F+Ä' sake, a _tool_. i want my tools to work, not to brighten up my living room.

New Image search by Google is terrible. Slows computer way down, overloads page and makes what was once easy into a huge mess. it is like looking at one big page of crammed up photos. NO GOOD.

people use google for one reason and one reason only , they use it for the simple uncluttered interface , and now that that is going away ... lets see how long google lasts .... we are doomed to live in a world of giant corporations with no ears ... they dont care that we hate it , they dont get WHY we hate it and they wont change it till googles share holders start pulling their money out of it .... i haven't used yahoo in at least 10 years but i just switched back , and im not missing google even a little bit ... it's unlikely that ill ever use google again
