Trufflepiggy - Quick Search Extension

#############
NEW in Quick Search v1.9.10:
✅ Update to webExtension MV3, which makes this addon future proof for 2024 and beyond.
🔄 Replaced webRequests with declarativeNetRequests for instant search and more(still only available for beta tester, public one will be with v2.0)
⚠️ KNOWN ISSUES: Depending on your chosen options if the service worker/background script goes to sleep it loses it's knowledge which previous tabs have been opened by the addon. So those can't be auto-closed if you have chosen this option. This info might be stored in the addon storage in a later update but isn't critical for your daily searches.

Joel Kelly (ID: 000000fe8bbf151a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/11/2023 The right-click functions to search Baidu, Yandex, Google, Bing and TinyEye, literally none of them work, as of 6/11/23. They either give no results or an error. Meanwhile, this extension puts a little piggy nose next to everything I click on or select, even text, which is really annoying. The only function that works is if you click on the extension and do a search from there. It's the only reason I'm not giving this 1 star.
