Someone on the 'Dope described how to put images from a Google search in a link after Google was sued for something or other and dropped the “view image” selection. How do we do it? Thanks! ---

The most reliable way is to [install this addon](https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage). Most of the time, you can click on the image in the search results, then right click on the image preview, and choose to copy the URL from the image (or save the image). But, with larger images, you may not get the full quality. ---

Or am I not understanding the problem? This was done using the share button after clicking on the photo. ---

Select the image (tap and hold), then click Share, then do the option to Tap and Hold to copy the link. For me this results in the selected image at the top and larger, with the other images below and smaller. Like the result **Richard Pearse** got in post #3. The URLs are the same. On the iPad is it possible to get the same result that **Richard Pearse** got in post #4?
