Quick
Google

A small Brave extension that searches Google or Google Images, from a popup or by right-clicking selected text. It's 279 lines and asks for one permission.

Sheet 02 of 05/Itch

Brave doesn't go to Google

Brave's own right-click menu already has a search option, it just goes to Brave Search instead of Google, right above the two entries I added.

The same popup with the phrase reaction wheel bldc typed into the search field
PL 02A query typed in. Enter opens Google, Shift+Enter opens Images, and the tab lands next to the one you were on.
The same popup rendered in dark mode, with a dark grey background and light text
PL 03The dark theme is one prefers-color-scheme block, 22 lines of the hundred-line stylesheet.

Sheet 03 of 05/Permissions

One permission, and that's it

It only asks for one permission, contextMenus, which is what puts the two search options into the right-click menu.

A Brave right-click context menu with a Quick Google submenu open, offering Search Google for QUICK and Search Google Images for QUICK
PL 04The two entries in the right-click menu. Highlight anything on any page and the search is two clicks away, with Images on the same submenu.

Sheet 04 of 05/Three ways

Two ways in

Open the popup and type, or highlight text on the page and right-click it, either way Enter goes to Google and Shift+Enter goes to Images.

Sheet 05 of 05/Unchanged

Small and staying that way

The whole thing is six files and four icons, loaded into Brave as an unpacked extension.
