My Browser Extensions
NB: For issues related to any of my browser extensions, please contact me here
I have created a number of simple browser extensions, or addons, for both the Chromium family of browsers (which includes Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and others), and Mozilla's Firefox browser. They are mostly research tools for looking up word meanings and similar, and several are particularly useful for those who edit Wikipedia and its sister sites. Here is the full list:
Ecosia Search
Highlight a word or phrase on any website and right click on it to see the context menu. This addon creates a new item in the context menu which allows you to search for the highlighted word or phrase on Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees!
Mozilla Addons
Chrome Web Store
Dictionary.com Search
Highlight a word on any page and right click on it - this simple addon creates a context menu item that allows you to search Dictionary.com for the meaning of the highlighted text. The results will open in a new tab.
