Add support for Google Reverse Image search

By reverse image search, I mean you have a picture and you want to know what it is

I know there are other pages like http://www.tineye.com/ to do this trick, but noone can match Google :/ So as much as I love Opera, I have to use other ridiculously slow browsers to work with reverse image search on Google :/ (or at least I haven't realized how is it possible to use this feature in Opera)

What a load of nonesense. Why would Google remove this button for non-Firefox browsers, especially since Opera supports it just fine? I notice if you identify as Internet Explorer, it will not let you do a reverse image search, either.

I guess the permanent way around this (for now) is to do the following:

1) Go to http://images.google.com
2) Right-click in the page and select "Edit Site Preferences"
3) Click on the "Network" tab
4) Select "Identify as Firefox"
5) Click "OK"

EDIT UPDATE

Whoops! I just noticed s33s already provided these instructions. Should have read everything.

I consider it an unfair competition from Google to hurt Opera as rival of Chrome :/

Way or another, the idea would be for Opera to always identify itself on this page as Firefox bigsmile

Go to preferences > Advanced > Toolbars and duplicate the default menu setup. This will create a copy of the standard_menu.ini in your profile(in the menu folder) - that is the one you will edit. When you change and save .ini file activate another in preferences > Advanced > Toolbars.
In this sections in menu.ini
[Image Link Popup Menu]
[Image Popup Menu]

you can add
Item, > G images="Copy image address & New page & Go to page, "http://google.com/searchbyimage?image_url=%c&image_content=&filename=&num=10""
Item, > tineye.com="Copy image address & New page & Go to page, "http://www.tineye.com/search?url=%c""

Now you can right click on image and search.
