I have been learning HTML+CSS using codecademy.com

It was told in beginning, how to arrange images in grid/tables manner. It is done by using `<table>`, `<tr>`, `<td>` tags.

You have to put `<a>` and `<img src ="">` in `<td>` tags.

But I noticed today images.google.com (search quinoa) doesn't show picture in tables.

There is `<div>` for every thumbnail. Why?

Does it make everything appear faster, i.e. `div`s are faster than `td`s?

No one uses tables anymore now a days. It is hard to read, manage HTML code?

There other coding strategy?

It basically comes down to preference. It is considered outdated to use table for data layouts. Use table for just that - actual tables. For the layout and such tasks, consider switching to div tags from now on. It has a lot of advantages, and is a topic much widely covered over the internet.
