## Description

Quickly switch between websites, retain search content to continue searching, and switch via buttons or shortcuts. Supports custom search websites; click a button in the address bar for fast search engine switching. Ported from the discontinued Chrome extension of the same name. When users perform keyword searches, they often need to compare search results from similar websites like Google and Baidu. This extension aims to simplify the process by directly fetching the keyword and seamlessly redirecting. Once users configure the redirection, a single click on the browser's button provides results from another website with the same keyword. Additionally, users can customize searches, such as toggling between two encyclopedia pages.
