A way to disable Google Lens for image search.

See original GitHub issue

Test plan

  1. Fresh install
  2. Set Google as default search engine
  3. Visit a web page with an image
  4. Right click (or ctrl+click) an image so that context menu comes up
  5. It should show Search Google for image (should not show `Google Lens)
  6. Clicking that should NOT go to Google Lens

Description

In Chrome, you can disable Google Lens with “chrome://flags/#enable-lens-region-search”

Expected result:

Disable “chrome://flags/#enable-lens-region-search” and search using Google Image instead.

Definitely a branding issue too, as it renames to Brave Lens image
