How To Use Old Google Image Search

Many people hate the new design of Google Image Search and want the old one back. It's pretty easy to do that, as Google shows the classic design if you disable JavaScript. But here's a way to disable JavaScript only for Google Image Search.

Firefox:

Go to your Firefox profile. For Windows XP, go to Start/Run and type:
%appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/
Then click on your profile's folder and open user.js in Notepad (if you can't find it, create a blank text file named user.js). Add these lines at the end of the file:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "nojs");
user_pref("capability.policy.nojs.sites", "http://images.google.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.nojs.javascript.enabled", "noAccess");

You should replace images.google.com with your localized version (for example: images.google.co.uk). Then restart Firefox.

You now should have the original Google Image search back :)

    The very moment I saw the new search, I did the same thing. Even shared the tip on Digg, where it was summarily ignored despite all the people complaining about the crappy changes. :)

    I don't mind the nice hover effects Google added, but making it more tedious to view important information was lame.

      I see the original google search is back. Im guessing they had a lot of negative feedback from users.
