Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension bypasses "Google Lens" results and takes you to the normal image results like how it used to be.

It also adds a "Search Google for image" context menu item that will open the image results in a new tab.

Post-installation instructions for manually removing the old "Search image with Google Lens" context menu item (the one that opens results in the Side Bar) can be found at https://github.com/fanfare/disablegooglelens/blob/master/CHROME.md
