With plugins QGIS can do this on its own though. Just use quickmapservices or manually import the Google imagery (still available online)

    I use QGIS for a living. Adding layers and image services is easy for me, but not to someone who doesn't even know what GIS is. I couldn't teach someone how to use it in seconds like I can GE, which consists of "Open Google Earth, and click and drag the file into the window".

    And with GE, you don't have to license the satellite imagery or teach someone how to add web-based tile services to GQIS.

    They can also use the draw tool in GE and right-click the drawing and export a file I can open in QGIS or ESRI without them having to know anything about projections or datums.
