This good, maybe the best in market, very tailor for everyone need. Still have space for improve: 1. Should have a simpler version meet basic need: copy, translate, google search. This will be easier for someone who have not time to discover many option in current version. 2. Translate should popup directly on using tab, instead of be opened in new tab, I need the pronounce function of google translation, but don't want to wait for new tab, and waste more time to close that tab
