Search selected text with Google in new Tab

Search selected text with Google in a New Tab is a Chrome extension that brings back the familiar functionality of searching the selected text with Google in a new tab. With a recent update for Chrome Beta, the default right-click menu option to search with Google now opens results in a side panel, which cannot be disabled with flags. This extension solves that problem by restoring the old context menu button, allowing users to search the selected text in a new tab instead.

It's important to note that this extension does not replace the default menu item; it simply adds an additional option. This is because default menu items cannot be adjusted. However, with the recent update for Chrome Beta), which implemented a right-click menu option to search selected text in a new tab, this extension has become mostly useless. Nevertheless, it remains available on the store for users who are still using the affected version or have a specific use case for it.
