Do you guys like the new image search?
Personally I really don't like it and I liked the old one a lot better.
I liked that the old one gave you the basic info on the photo and favored functionality over looks. The new one is much worse functionality wise for me and even makes some of my Firefox add-ons not work. I think that google is just trying to be more like bing with this and that's something they do not need to do.
Agree? Disagree?

Hmmm...

I'm fine with it, though I understand how problematic it can be.

Thank goodness I have fast internet.

I think the search by color function is kind of cool. I don't know what I would use it for, but it actually works quite nicely.

It's easier, you don't have to skip pages all the time. It's a bit less organised, but easier and faster to use.

I never realized google changed it, until I read this thread. I don't use it too much, so it doesn't really matter to me.

However, it is a little unorganized now, but it is faster to find images.

I think it's fine. Works perfect for me.

I like that color search thing. It can come in really handy sometimes.
And the different....stuff.

It just makes stuff easier.

Maybe they want people too start using Google Chrome instead of FF.

It's fine. But it is very un-organized.

I think it's better than it was. Searching by image is a lot quicker now. I will refuse bing until I die....
Yeah, I just really dislike bing.

I actually used the image search several times before noticing it was different. And I actually like it better, it makes finding a picture take less time.

Middle click often opens sliding mode instead of opening a picture in a new tab. It gets annoying.

Yea. No. It = Win. I love it. It's just so much more convenient.
