Simple tool. Perfect execution. This has greatly reduced friction in my research and PKM. Thank you, and nice work!

On top of working exactly as described and doing what it's meant to do painlessly, it lets you add a custom entry which googles whatever text you've highlighted with the word "reddit" added automatically, meaning it makes googling good again. That's sort of a big deal. For the devs - it might be good to have a preliminary entry in the right-click menu prompting you to go through the setup. When I installed it and saw nothing new in that menu, I first went to the browser's extensions page, thinking the settings might be in extension options, but no dice, I had to click the icon in the bar - but because Chrome doesn't pin new extensions by default, I had to click the jigsaw button and scroll down to find your icon first. Obtuse, but not your fault at all, obviously!
