Copy Image Address not working anymore in Safari 15.3

So I have been having issues with copying image addresses from google images on Safari.

For 20 years I have been right clicking on an image result in google images and then, when I selected 'Copy Image Address' I was able to copy the image's direct URL for use else where. But as of late, it ONLY copies the image name and extension (sample.jpg instead of www.image.com/sample.jpg).

Can anyone tell me what is going on? That makes the 'Copy Image Address' function entirely useless.

Sidenote: It is not a google image search issue, has the same fault on any other homepage.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.2

Greetings, Andy22li.

If you are having issues copying an image address, there are some steps you can take. Restarting can often help to resolve unexpected behaviors, so first you should restart your Mac. Shut down or restart your Mac

Then, since updating your MacOS can also help resolve issue, ensure that your macOS is up-to-date. Update macOS on Mac

If the issue continues, test to see if it happens in safe mode. Safe mode disable certain software that may be part of the issue. How to use safe mode on your Mac

We hope this helps!

Sincerely.

Andy22li,

Thanks for keeping us updated. To get a better understanding of the issue, we'd like to verify if this behavior is specific to your account only. Here's how to set up another user account and test the issue there: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

Same issue in Safe Mode, unfortunately. Safari only copies the image name and extension, rather than the whole URL when clicking on "Copy Image Address" in the right-click context menu.
