## Description

Goto foo is a more flexible alternative to Firefox's "Open Link" feature. For example, it can yank xample․co from https://example․com, whereas Firefox only lets you open the complete URL. Inspired by Chrome's "Go to [url]" feature, which is why I haven't published this extension for Chrome.

Runs without any permissions by default, but granting "your data on all websites" lets it process text before the context menu appears:
- Permissionless: [Goto "any selected text" as URL], no filtering. Invalid text leads to an error page.
- With permission: [Goto https://formatted․url], with non-URLs omitted.

Goto foo is Free Software (MPL2.0 license) with no ads or tracking.
