UbiChr - Ubiquity Extension

UbiChr is \"Ubiquity for Chrome\" - a revived command line interface that brings lots of useful command shortcuts.

In particular, you can:

* Open a command-like window to execute commands with arguments and preview the results (default Ctrl+Space shortcut must be set manually)
* Open new tabs and pass GET or POST parameters (on appropriate command execution like Wikipedia search, dictionary lookup, text translation, etc.)
* Fetch data via AJAX, process it, and display it on the extension popup preview (for example: IMDB movie lookup, currency converter)
* Alter current pages (highlight keywords, invert or remove colors)
* Add your custom JavaScript commands via a built-in editor in a syntax similar to the original Ubiquity project
* Utilize powerful features of the Chrome extension (inject scripts, access cookies, use alarms, bulk save and zip URLs, filter opened tabs for text or links, ...)
* Share your commands via GitHub Gist

NOTICE: The Ctrl+Space shortcut may need to be manually reassigned in the Chrome add-on management dashboard in order to be used. To do that, use the chrome://extensions/shortcuts URL.

D W (ID: 0000005a282add5a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/14/2018 Brings the greatest extension from FireFox (that Mozilla no longer allows) and puts it on a modern browser. Great! Ubiquity basically gives users powerful command line access to the internet. Lovely. Allows creation of custom commands, as well.
