Description

An opportunity to make GIS greater than it ever was: rather than just opening the image as if when clicking the old "View image" button on Google (with inages.google.com as the HTTP referer), actually take the URL of the "Visit page" button, and inject that as the Referer header when the user clicks "View image".

Even better, use the "Visit page" links as referers when loading the images embedded in the search listing. This effectively defeats schemes where the image is blocked or blurred when coming from Google.
