G Shop - One-click Google Shopping for Brave with privacy.

by
Brave doesn't have a native Shopping search, making it a 4-step chore to find products. G Shop fixes this. It provides a one-click shortcut that bypasses the "initial handshake" with Google, preventing tracking until the moment you search, also on Firefox • Instant Access: Go from zero to Shopping results in one click. • Brave Optimized: Fills the gap in Brave’s search capabilities. • Privacy Guard: Cuts the pre-search data exchange. • Clean Interface: Modern, ad-free UI.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 As a Brave user, I was frustrated that I couldn't just "search for products" like I could on other browsers. To use Google Shopping, you usually have to: Search https://www.google.com/search?q=... Click the link Type your product Switch to the 'Shopping' tab. I built G Shop to turn that into a single click. More importantly, it helps with privacy by eliminating the initial handshake. Usually, Google starts tracking your intent the moment you land on their homepage; G Shop cuts that out, only connecting you when you're actually ready to search. It’s a small, lightweight tool (under 130KB) designed to make the "Brave + Google Shopping" workflow actually usable. Would love to hear what the Brave and privacy communities think!
