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/

Google is working on “Shared Clipboard” feature that allows you to send copied text among your signed-in devices

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

i wouldn't use the clipboard share feature flag though

so, you simply input the word phrases into muted words in your Twitter account settings

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

you can do it via app or web 😉
