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

Still works as of 12/20/2024 and is one of the best chrome extensions to ever exist. Better question is why does Google keep ####### #### up, for gods sake leave stuff how it is. But for now. Im happy that it still works (always have since I added it a few years ago) again, no clue what the people below me are talking about, skill issue.
