Like Google Chrome's dark mode?
it's about to get even darker
he setting doesn't affect any website content, so when you perform a Google search, the results page is still dazzling white

You can Soon Use Images from Clipboard and do Image Search from Omnibox
“Omnibox clipboard image search suggestions: Enables image search suggestions in the Omnibox”.
chrome://flags/

also working on “Raw Clipboard Access” which will include images also into this

that's it save all and you are good to go
