So, why can't I 'borrow' images anymore?

At least, not easily?

Now every yahoo/google search image is encoded in some '**&/00oo/hpxy/#^^' gobbledy-gook, even when the image in question is not theirs, or copyrighted, or whatever.

How can I seperate the 'image' url from all of that noise?

What is the deal with all of this, anyhoo?

Much thanks.

Seems to work with me...

It works with some, but not with a shitload. I don't get it.

(But I am an idiot, as many can attest.)

I always just right-click on it and choose to open in another tab. Seems to work.

Perhaps many sites are trying to reduce their stolen bandwidth in ways other than limiting direct access to image files, like squirting out the binary image data straight from the app instead of referencing a file.

But i dunno really cuz i can't find an example of which you speak.

Man-bear works fine.
