Right-Click Search IMDb Extension

This simple extension adds an IMDb search for any text you highlight to the right-click menu.

If you see a name that you want to look up on IMDb, just highlight the name, right click, and select \"Search IMDb for \" on the menu.

The search executes in a new tab.

The extension is tiny and takes very little memory. To keep it small, there are no options.

The extension \"Right-Click Search IMDbPro\" is available if you want to search IMDbPro (requires IMDbPro account). Install both if you want both search options.
