Web Search From Clipboard Extension

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

extension21This is a nice extension that lets you to fire a word or a text-link from your clipboard directly to your browser with a shortcut.

This Extension could be really good if you could launch it by just selecting text without copying it. 


Web Search From Clipboard

You can set your own Search Engine, or localize the default Google for your country (ie from google.com to google.de) and you can also set the shortcuts.

The weakness is that you need actually to copy the text on the clipboard (and not just select it, and that slow down the things a lot.

TIP: In GNOME you can select a text, and paste it with middle click
