Read the publisher’s full description

# Search from Popup or ContextMenu (SPC) This WebExtension is a *fork* of "[Swift Selection Search (SSS)](#acknowledgment)". This is a customized version of SSS for *my own use*. When you select text or image on a webpage, you can quickly search from the popup or contextmenu. **By default, popup appears when you drag an image, selected text, or link, but you can choose from the following behaviors.** "Popup/icons behaviour" -> "Opening behaviour": (Off / Auto / Hold Alt / Keyboard-only / Middle mouse button / Click / Drag) There are Firefox and Microsoft Edge versions. Microsoft Edge version also works with Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, but there's no technical support. ## Install * [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchfrompopuporcontextmenu/) * [Microsoft Edge](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/hlikagndoiibjkblhopoajeonpkfgiko) * [Other Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome](https://github.com/YoshifumiFuyuno/Search-from-Popup-or-ContextMenu/wiki/Instructions#how-to-install-on-chromium-based-browsers-such-as-google-chrome) ## Privacy policy * Search query are **not saved**. * You can use suggest(Google or DuckDuckGo or Qwant or Bing or Яндекс(Yandex) or 百度(Baidu)) in the popup search box or omnibox search, but you can disable it in the settings.
