en CMS is my favorite extension ever. Glad to see it is still be updated. Yet as others mentioned, it stopped working with no CMS in the right-click menu (I use both latest Edge and Chrome, with auto updates), but my CMS site settings are still there as always. I guess that issue was somewhat fixed now with CMS 2.99 (thanks!), but that same issue has returned for me. This time though, my use of GTE (Glary Tracks Eraser) is causing it. Glary Tracks Eraser was not an issue before. Regardless, Justin Block's work-around fix worked for me (thanks Justin!). So, after I run Glary Tracks Eraser, I open the browser, and then go to the CMS settings page (i.e. the URI page) and add a site from the "Pick from the following" options. That fix works in both latest Edge and Chrome browsers. It is a small fuss to have to do that after each time I run GTE, but better than nothing. TIP: I bookmarked that CMS settings page (i.e. the URI page) for quick access.

en Great timesaver! I use it many times a day with Chrome. It would be useful to me if I could append the clipboard instead of selected text to the url, for example with archive.is.

en I've got this wonderful extension working again. It was not showing up for me when I would highlight a word and right click as it used to. When I would go into the options NONE of my configured searches were showing up. What I did was went into Options under "Add search engines" I selected a search engine I didn't already have selected and clicked "add selected options". That's it. When I went to see if that one new option was available when I right clicked on a highlighted word, all of my configured search options showed up again. I then went back and unselected the search engine I didn't want. I use this thing SO much, please don't ever go away.

en This app doesn't seem to do anything. I was hoping to use this to restore the image search into the right-click menu.
