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

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.

Small and staying that way

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