Google recently replaced its clean horizontal image rows with a masonry-style layout.
I found it harder to scan on a desktop screen, especially when portrait images took up most of the available space. A Reddit user had the same problem and asked for an extension that would restore the previous layout, so I built Classic View for Google Images.
The first version brings back justified horizontal rows, hover previews, direct image access and quick size filters.
Before the launch, I m curious: what feature or behavior from the older Google Images experience do you miss most? I m collecting ideas for the next update.
Classic View replaces the Google Images masonry grid with clean horizontal rows. Preview images on hover, open originals with View Image, filter by size, hide related searches, and adjust row height and spacing. Lightweight, customizable, and private.
