Copy link

I watch lots of shows, movies, etc and I always seem to open the movie name in the new tab just to see the aggregator scores to make my mind to watch it or not. by adding this feature I won't need to open the movie name in the new tab. I'll just select the title of the movie and dang I'll be able to see all the scores like that. super fast!

Just like the above, it would be way better to add a currency converter. I use a lot of international shopping websites. and I always've to open a link in a new tab to convert it into the local currency. it would be better to have this functionality in the selection search so whenever I select the currency the popup could just show how much I'll be paying in the local currency LIVE! (like google currency does!)

also sometimes I need to copy the text I just selected and clicking RMB seems like a hassle!
please add a button in the selection menu so whenever I need to copy something I can just move the mouse to the selection menu icon and click copy. which saves time & is way more convenient than Pushing the RMB and then finding the copy button in the long list of things and then finally clicking on it!

Please think about these will make your extension all the more robust compared to others!

A copy button that copies in plain text (optional) would be great.

There is already a copy button. If you add a new search engine and set the search url to the special value: COPY, the search engine will be treated specially and cause the selected text to be copied to the clipboard.

The other suggestions are very specific. It would certainly be possible to add, but the extension could become a bit bloated over time if special features for all kinds of websites are added, so I'm not sure I want to add these.

You can sort of do something similar to what you are asking by using enabling the "new window" and "use popup window" options on a search engine.

E.g by adding a search engine with the url "https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+USD+to+EUR" and enabling the popup window. This will open a small popup window showing the content instead of a new tab.
