It would be nice to have a image recognition like google lens, here are some uses that would be quicker to do:
Scan and translate text on images and pictures for easier searching,
Translating signs,books,texts and etc without using google translator
No need for screenprint to upload to search engines, identify pics, places, people, location and being redirected to a search engine about it.
Text-to-speech for visually impaired
All of that without needing extension for every single one of them, not to mention there is no existence of an extension or DESKTOP software with the same functions as Google Lens
Edit: Google Lens just updated and gave Chrome Browser the upper hand, showing the usefulness of image recognition capibalities
