Disable Google Lens by poeyfarre

- Rated 3 out of 5by MajaLange, a year agoMy original (one-star) review, based on my own misperception of what the extension was designed to do (see edits below):
"It doesn't do what I personally wanted it to do. I found out how to disable Lens in Chrome, and it turned everything back to how it used to be before Lens, but this extension doesn't do that.
What I wanted was to be able, like I used to be, to right-click an image in Image Search Results and select "Search image with Google" (or whatever it is in English; I get it in Danish), which would open a collection of that exact image in all available sizes. After getting the add-on, I still can't do that. :/"

EDIT after a helpful response from the developer:
"Thank you for the advice, developer - it worked! It takes one more click than it used to, but I can live with that. :) But couldn't you somehow incorporate that function into Disable Google Lens? Then I'd give it five stars. As it stands now, I don't really know how to rate it. I mean, I'd like to give YOU good feedback for helping me, but your add-on (or extension; I don't know the difference) didn't help me at all, and its name and description made me think that it would."

EDIT after another response:
"Thank you for writing again. I understand pretty much nothing of your clarification, haha, but I've decided to change my rating to three stars as a compromise between the fact that I believe the extension probably does what you promise it does, because you seem like an upright and competent person, and the fact that I don't know from first-hand experience that it does (since, like I said, I don't even understand what its purpose is). I mean, I can't bring myself to leave my rating at one star when you've been so kind to me and even solved my problem! I actually FEEL like giving the extension five stars to show my appreciation of you as a person, but I don't think that would be fair to prospective users. Anyway, with your other ratings, I think you'll be okay. :) Again, thank you so much."Developer response
posted a year agotry this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search_by_image/
after installing, go into the options and disable all search engines except for google. this will bring back the functionality i think you might be looking for
edit: no worries about the rating. the main purpose of this particular extension was to override the disable lens results -specifically- when accessed via 'search by image' on google's own website, rather than creating a context menu item (since there was already an extension that could do that). just wanted to clarify. - Rated 3 out of 5by Another user, 2 years agoA good start but only does half the job for me. If I click and drag an image the add-on works and blocks Lens. If I click and drag a link, Lens appears as Lens accepts links as well as images.
