My Google image search results have changed on my phone (Android)... Any help?

Here's what it looks like now. It used to have a little menu type button where you could hit that and then select "view image" and it'd open the image in the browser so I could copy the image url and then paste it in the image box here or whatever.
It's been like this for over a week now and it makes it difficult to post web pics. Now I have to open the page containing the picture (tinychat or whatever in this case), scroll thru it to find it, do a long press on the image and then select the "view image" option and do it.
Not sure if an update did this or what, but hoping someone here can tell me the new shortcut or whatever to work around this issue.
5 shrooms to the person with the answer. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you're using the same browser you were before. My phone had 2 installed at some point.

Positive.. And my girl's phone is the same way.. Not sure how long her's has been, but it's the same.. Also, same phone (Galaxy S3).. Maybe a shitty update or something.

I don't know how to fix it and haven't. I've just been coping. Tbh, I thought I was the only person in the world experiencing this issue until I saw this thread and I simply figured it was my lot in life.

Did you download the google chrome update? That may have an affect but I'm not sure because I am refusing to download it!

Can't find any mention of the change online. I also can't see any settings anywhere that seems to change anything in that regard. I tried searching to see if there was some shortcut I was unaware of, but the only one I found mentioned was from 2011 and is what you had been doing already.
You could try downloading a new browser? My only solution. One of the others might have the option still.

Firefox has the full size option which brings up what I would normally use.
I wonder if there's a similar option now with this update on our phones? I'd like to keep the same browser I always use if possible

Well I found a sorta work around. With the internet open, hit the menu button and select desktop mode. You can then click on images and it'll bring up a menu allowing one click to view image (which gives a url to the pic) but it takes fucking forever to load. Maybe your internet connection would be better though.

Sorry I couldn't help you get back to how it was, there's gotta be a way to uninstall updates if that's what caused it, but I'm not really all that cell phone savvy. I only use mine for texts and calls. If not for the several letters per button issue, I might as well have an old Nokia or something.

Don't know the first about Iphone, or what system it uses but Google turned this up: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/request-desktop-site-ios-8/ "With the website open, tap the address bar to bring up your bookmarks and recent history. Then swipe down to reveal some hidden options at the top, including a new option to Request Desktop Site." http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/53022/can-you-force-a-mobile-site-on-your-iphone-to-show-full-desktop-view There's also this one for Chrome, which has you open the menu and scroll down to request desktop.

The level where web images news and all that shit is to the right (in desktop mode) is a button for safe search to turn it on and off. At least on my phone there is. That's assuming you're still using Google. EDIT: If that doesn't work, I found this: http://ccm.net/faq/34657-android-how-to-enable-the-safesearch-filter
