Summary

Analyze keywords

With Phlinx installed, all you have to do is long click (click and hold) any piece of text on any website to immediately access a sidebar full of related information. It also works on links, which means you never have to leave your current tab and lose context.

Phlinx also automatically identifies people, locations, movies, games, products, and many other content types, and serves up context-specific information, such as trailers, social media links, travel guides, and more.

So what are you waiting for? Never lose your context again – just click, hold, and wait for the magic.

Very useful, would be cool to have the option to remove context menu button though

I've used this extension for a while after seeing it on bulbapedia and it's suuuuuper useful. being able to really quickly see the definitions of words or preview links in the same tab without having to constantly switch to new tabs or windows is amazing. i'm kinda shocked that this isn't more popular. my only criticism is that for now it's not really good at identifying phrases and it instead searches individual words. that can be avoided by highlighting the phrase you want to search and then long clicking, so this is mostly just a minor nitpick. love it!

Really helpful and useful, it would be perfect if they had a Spanish version, but, anyway, it allows me to do research and finish my homework much faster, highly recommended
