User reviews

It's definitely what Im looking for in idea point of view. But it's unusable for now:( Old selection is does kill all the benefits from that plugin. On some sites, like duckduckgo search page selection is randomly. Also it would be greate to have multi-selection. (Don't forget add custom shortcut, cause ctrl+click does appears as right click on mac:))

Good thought - bad realization: cancels 'copy' in the context menu
