How dou do a reverse image search??
Most people just use Google, but over the past few years, it has gone downhill and just turned into a piece of ****. Yandex has become the best, but it's not perfect, and TinEye (a distant third) can sometimes find things where Yandex and Google fail.

Instead of jumping back and forth, I use an add-on called Fast Image Research. You can choose between 7 different reverse image searches.
I have mine configured to use Google, Tineye, Yandex (Russian) and Yandex (Ukrainian). That may seem redundant, but I have on some rare occasions found that the Ukrainian version of Yandex will yield a few extra results over the Russian version. NOTE: I have a translator add-on that translates both into English. I don't use the English version of Yandex as I've had issues with it.

What happens when you submit a pic thru Fast Image Research is that it will open a new tab for each search. In my case, a tab with results from Google, Tineye, Yandex(R), Yandex(U).

I use Firefox and the add-on link for Fast Image Research is below. The add-on also has an extension for Chrome and Edge, but I despise Chrome, and Microsoft's forays into the browser market are just unforgivable. It took them 20 years to realize that Internet Explorer was the most God-awful piece of **** they ever invented!
