好用!!!

It works. The main problem is that on Ecosia.org the "Hover" feature doesn't work and the button "Search" doesn't appear. You have to right-click the link and launch the extension from there. Furthermore, you can only choose between Big Techs search engines to make the research. Not exactly what I was looking for when I downloaded your app, but for now I'll stick with it - untill I'll find something better or you'll fix this. In the last case, I'll change my review for the better. Anyway, is the source code available somewhere?
