     @apophis How google search no longer even works without proprietary JavaScript has eliminated any reason to use it months ago.

     It is still possible to use Google Search without JavaScript with certain user agents. Parabola IceWeasel-libre does this for you.

     @Zergling_man @freetar Reverse image search does not work without JavaScript.
     
     The only site that does reverse image search without JS I know of it saucenao.com, but inexact matches are crushed (requiring annoying manual HTML editing to view) and the databases are limited, meaning you'll have difficulty finding images that aren't anime-style ones.

     @Suiseiseki @freetar If image search of any kind works without js that puts it ahead of any other, I think? At least I'm not aware of anything offering that, except maybe uhhh, what's it called, metager, that requires you to pay for image search.

     @Suiseiseki @freetar What about forward image search?
     
     Good thing I mostly only want to lookup anime images.

     @Zergling_man @freetar A general crawler that you can use to access duckduckglow or google or whatever.

     @Suiseiseki @freetar Is that a general crawler or specific source?
