Search from Popup or ContextMenu (SPC)

This WebExtension is a fork of "Swift Selection Search (SSS)".
This is a customized version of SSS for my own use.

When you select text or image on a webpage, you can quickly search from the popup or contextmenu.

By default, popup appears when you drag an image, selected text, or link, but you can choose from the following behaviors. "Popup/icons behaviour" -> "Opening behaviour":
(Off / Auto / Hold Alt / Keyboard-only / Middle mouse button / Click / Drag)

There are Firefox and Microsoft Edge versions.
Microsoft Edge version also works with Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, but there's no technical support.
