Review summary

Users love Disable Google Lens for restoring the classic Google Image Search and avoiding the disliked Google Lens. It worked flawlessly for a long time and was highly valued. Recently, many users report the add-on stopped working, often resulting in error pages or empty results. This appears linked to Google limiting or changing requests. Some have temporary workarounds like blocking cookies, but overall it has lost reliability, causing disappointment among users who had depended on it.

Pros

Effectively disables Google Lens, restoring the classic Google Image Search experience.
Simple to use and works instantly when functional.
Highly appreciated by users who prefer the old Google image search over Google Lens.
Has been a very important and useful tool for users prior to recent issues.
The developer has gained praise for providing a valuable solution to an unpopular Google Lens feature.

Cons

The add-on has stopped working recently for many users, showing error pages instead of search results.
Google has likely changed or limited requests, causing the extension to fail (e.g., error 413 indicating large requests are blocked).
Some users must block cookies for lens.google.com and www.google.com as a workaround to disable Lens.
The extension currently redirects to empty or error pages with a 'blue monster fishing' error message.
Users express frustration about the extension's loss of functionality and the need to find alternatives.

2025-02-09	Fi*****	Guys, do not blame this developer for this old image search not working, because Google has limited the amount of request on the google image search. I look at the error log; it says error 413 meaning that google doesn't allow large requests AND effectively killed it. Blame google; not the dev. I will copy this review to other extensions.

2024-12-14	No*****	Ok I found a solution: blocking cookies for lens.google.com AND www.google.com fixes it. Login/logout doesn't worked - it still cheks for cookies so this is the only way.
