ARatQuiRit (ID: 000000fe0d1c9334) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2021 Excellent ! Top notch would be the capacity to add the link directly inside the context menu, and not a subgroup, also, to be able to put icons, and separators. But all that is nitpicking details, it is an A+ extension, from the ones you can not stop to use once used to it !

Paul Bonnevie (ID: 000000ad28efeeae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/13/2021 Works like a clock, arigathanks gozaimuch

Born Kreps (ID: 000000c76b466bf3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/09/2021 The extension is great. But the icon design stands out too much, please make the icon in the context menu more modest.

Robert Davison (ID: 000000c774f1efed) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/17/2020 Clean and simple. Works great. "This extension requires no special permissions" !!!!

Sheng-Hong Wang (ID: 0000004a7af4b8ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2020 This is the best Context search chrome extension I've ever tried! Simple right click your mouth search from your favorite website. The extension management is also easy to configure. It could be the replacement of the old "Context Menu Search", which is apparently no longer supported. Give it a try!
