Today's Quick Tip....
Super-fast way to do a reverse image search
If you've been using the Internet for a while you probably know you can do a "reverse image search" on any image that's displayed on a web page to find other web pages that contain that same image (or very similar images).
There are several ways to complete a reverse image search, but today I'm going to tell you about the fastest method possible. Just follow the steps below:
1 - Right-click on the image you want to do the reverse image search for.
2 - Select the option to search for that image.
Note: The actual wording of the "search for image" option varies from browser to browser, but all the most popular browsers have it.
Your default browser should now open up with the results of the reverse image search already displayed for you.
That's all there is to it. Enjoy.
