"OMG how can Firefox sacrifice so much data to Google? I'm going back to Chrome!"

"Did you know the Mozilla CEO is very highly paid????"

"Mozilla is too woke I will never use their software."

Did I miss any? Let's get this over with quick, HN.

>Note: Google must be set as your default search engine for this feature to appear.

Thankfully Firefox is FOSS, which means distro maintainers and users can patch out such anti-features.

In the meantime, I'll stick to my Arkenfox user.js.

When possible, don't use anything from Google.

And this is a clear move from Google. Take this money and put this on the browser...

If this sticks around I hope (and mostly trust) that they'll make it configurable across different image search tools.

Other than that this seems... fine. Good even. It's a nice to have feature that isn't in the way and presumably doesn't share any data at all until you explicitly tell it to.

Good feature. Searching an image is already an older mode of Google Lens. Chrome currently allows you to search any region, which is more useful for searching something from a video frame or a portion of an image. Not sure why Firefox would implement the older version.
