Preemptive apology for the cross-post
I haven't seen this noted anywhere in our community and thought it was worthy of discussion.
Google has removed an easily accessible button that would take you directly to the image file in search results. I wonder what impact this may have, if any, on the discovery and use of images hosted on Wikimedia projects (most notably Commons) that appear in these Google search results.
