About this extension

# Search from Popup or ContextMenu (SPC)

This WebExtension is a *fork* of "Swift Selection Search (SSS)".
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
* Microsoft Edge
* Other 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.
"Popup/icons behaviour" -> "Enable search box suggest"
If you set your favicon to data: scheme and disable suggest, this extension will not access the network at all.
- exception
  - If you add a search engine from the context menu or options page, cache the favicon as data: scheme.
  - When adding a search engine from the context menu, if the normal addition is not possible, get OpenSearch if the site supports it.
  - Processes performed by the browser (update and synchronization).
