Solution for the (much faster than Chrome now) Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-image-...

excellent find, but there's valuable data in those previews; namely the size of the original image. especially useful when trying to find a particular image of a particular size. unfortunately that extension bypasses the preview.

yes I agree, sometimes you really want that information. I recommend you turn it off (it's a one click in the toolbar) if you want to information or use the bookmarklet recommended here.

Thanks! this fully solves the problem.
