There is less information displayed now and mousing is much slower than reading. Some of the foreign Google image sites still work in the previous fashion, although I suspect they will change over time as well. This new system is almost as bad as Bing.Professor Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802171986501104683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-1119664843993114522010-07-24T22:10:00.673-05:002010-07-24T22:10:00.673-05:00@Minnesotastan & Professor Batty:

Page numbers must be scrolled, no go to page number feature anymore. Some images go directly to the web page- very awkward. <br /><br />I think they did this to make image search more mobile-friendly. It will definitely slow some of my searches.Professor Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802171986501104683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-54452857917097272922010-07-24T01:54:12.265-05:002010-07-24T01:54:12.265-05:00You could already sort them by size, color, and su...You could already sort them by size, color, and subject. You had to click the 'options' button, though. Now it's just unhidden.<br /><br />But yes, I love the new layout. You can make each picture have its size shown in the corner of the thumbnail, too.MaraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263286031677141488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-5731313880047957262010-07-24T00:08:28.714-05:002010-07-24T00:08:28.714-05:00I don't know about Google Chrome.
