"type: :request" is used so that RSpec would include Watir-specific helpers
only into specs where they are actually needed (so-called
request/integration type specs) and not into every test (e.g. regular unit
tests, controller tests, model tests etc.).
You can remove that additional filter, but I would recommend not to do
that. Just make sure that somewhere in your spec/rails_helper.rb or
spec/spec_helper.rb you have the following RSpec configuration option set:
config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!
And then start creating your "request" type specs under spec/requests
directory for example:
spec/requests/google_spec.rb
Also, I recommend you to use watir-rails for even easier integration.
