About Selection Toolbar: Highlighter, Notes & Actions

Select text on any web page and a small toolbar appears beside it with the actions that make sense for what you selected. Always there: copy, search the web or the current site, translate, define, read aloud, look it up on Wikipedia or LinkedIn. Smart actions: appear only when the selection matches: open a link, calculate a sum, email an address, call a number, show an address on a map, preview a colour, convert units, currencies or timestamps. Ask an AI: send the selection to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity, with your own default prompt per assistant or a one-off question. Highlights: press H to highlight the selection in yellow, green, blue or pink. Open the page again later and the highlight is there. The Highlights sidebar (Alt+Shift+H) lists them for this page and every page, with a note on each, search, and Copy or Download as Markdown for Obsidian, Notion or anywhere else. Highlights stay in your browser. Notes: press Alt+Shift+N on any page for a sticky note that follows you across tabs. Drag it, resize it, format as you type, and add selected text to it with one key. Notes stay in your browser. Every action has a single-key shortcut. Choose which actions show, their order, where the toolbar appears, your search engine, currency and voice in Settings. Free, no account needed. Signing in with Google is optional and adds Ask Claude, Ask Perplexity and ChatGPT temporary chats. The toolbar reads only the text you select, never the page, and sends it nowhere except to the action you click.
