This is nonsense.
PSA: Yandex has the best reverse image search by a mile. It can even find Instagram posts.
It's a shame that Russia has to be Russia because Yandex has some good stuff. I like their maps and street view equivalent (it only works for places like Russia and Belarus but I've played around with it out of curiosity) - it's less clunky than Google's and it lets you change the year to view streets scenes from different years. If only that could have gone global.

Google Street view lets you do this too, but only on the desktop site. It goes back to 2010 in some areas near me.
Google Earth (the downloadable Windows app) lets you see historical satellite images, more than what's available via Google Maps. There's satellite images going back to the 1940s in some areas, in varying levels of quality.
Actually you're right, it's well hidden.
Fucking hell Mozilla. First DuckDuckGo, now Firefox. And Brave still refuses to pull its head out of its ass to be a viable alternative. The Fediverse continues to prove that it is the future for people like us, fuck corporations.
Yeah, Brave's CEO is Brendan Eich. That put me off right there. Mozilla aren't perfect, but at least they kicked him to the curb.
They released a new version just for that? Do they not have anything better to do than hating Russia?
I switched to Librewolf on the desktop and Fennec on Android. Mozilla has disappointed me recently several topics beyond this politicization. It's sad because I have been a Mozilla enthusiast for decades.
WTF Mozilla?
The Putin Regime is diabolical, of course. And divestments and boycotts helped bring down South Africa apartheid, so such actions they have their place. But I think what bothers a lot of people is the double standards of corporations doing business with, say, the likes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who trample over human rights and whose brutality has created the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It's definitely worth debating the targeting and effectiveness (and consistency, or lack thereof) in such pulling of services.
Awesome!
