Even more: What's special about it
- 🔎 Even works with those In-page-Ajax-render websites that don't provide GET/POST interface to public
- 🔎 Do many operations at once by one button
- Good-looking, powerful and lightweight
- Uses JSON as unified search engines database (both built-in and user-defined). Has strong flexibility in engine data:
- Multiple buttons for one engine: more than one operations for one engine. (Buttons inherit data from engine. Some key-value data in button can override the ones in engine name)
- Cross-engine use: Call another engine (or it's certain button action) to do the action
- String-formatting user's input, according to engine's need
- Combining above two to search websites that don't support search
Safety & Privacy
- 🛡️ Pure client-side tool functions fully. No necessary server. No collecting user's input or ad analyzing.
- 🛡️ Browser extension does not inject anything to web sites. (except when using In-page-Ajax-render engine)
