Ok if Airtable removes unpopular features to declutter. BUT NO, this NOT one of them: Pic Web Search

As others said, attaching facebook selfies to Airtable is not popular at work. But attaching sample pictures to records from web search *IS* one of activities enterprise customer employees do often.

N-O-T a good choice.

I am SO sad about this change - I used the web search feature all the time. I assumed that it was a copyright or security issue, not just "decluttering", but I can't find any evidence to support that. If it was just a product design choice, please bring it back, Airtable! It was incredibly useful.

I suspect Airtable may have done it also because they want users to purchase AI credits to generate images instead of looking for free photos. That makes Airtable more money than a free extension.
