Use Yandex. I'm not joking, I have started to get better results on it and the image search is genuinely much better, in particular the reverse image search is waaaaay better.
quick yandex vs google test:
i searched "soviet union"
google gave me a state department history link on the first page of google
yandex didn't give me that same link until the 4th page

I already do
I should try switching over to it as my main search engine though. I've never tried their image or video search
Can't speak for video but even the interface for reverse image search is just massively and obviously better when you try it. Both finding the source and "similar images"
That's beautiful
Image reverse search definitely took a big step down when Google consolidated a bunch of image/camera shit into Google Lens
Thanks!
