    An extension that does this with over 30 image search engines is Search By Image, a Mozilla recommended extension. Check the developer’s GitHub (dessant). On the one off occasion, I also use ImgOps.com, but almost always, I never need to go beyond using Yandex. They are the only search engine that, unlike Google and Bing, did not cripple theirs. Although I am starting to see them putting up captchas more frequently (less than Cloudflare or Google) with any searches that might be related to adult or piracy content.

      I don’t know how I missed that until now, thanks!! I will try it right now.

      I also use ImgOps.com

      Yeah, that’s what I was using for a while and what motivated me to write the bookmarklet to avoid going through it every time.

      Regarding the different searches, I found that they cover very different needs:

      • TinEye: usually the best when you want (almost) exact matches.
      • Yandex: probably the stronger as a general search
      • Google: in my experience, the best to “understand” the image and identify the object / subject even if there are no real matches for that image
      • Bing: you sometimes get lucky with it when the others fail
      • SauceNAO: the most convenient to find the original pages for DeviantArt, ArtStation and Twitter images.
