- Rated 4 out of 5by mnaonmf, 4 days agoThank you so much for creating SPC. I came across it while looking for an Android build of Swift Selection Search (SSS). Unfortunately, SSS only exists for desktop, which is a shame because this kind of extension is even more essential on mobile. That’s why I’m grateful you developed SPC—I’m even using it now on both platforms. I do wish it included an “auto-copy to clipboard” option like SSS. I also find SPC’s settings a bit more complex and less organized than SSS’s, though I’m getting used to them. Perhaps you’ve already considered these things and are working on some welcome changes. That said, I really appreciate being able to import my SSS settings into SPC and then fine-tune the extra options it offers.
EDIT: The popup’s Copy button (when set to “Copy as text”) doesn’t preserve formatting such as bullet points or numbered lists, even when those elements are plain text. Using the operating system’s native copy function avoids this issue. - Rated 5 out of 5by mixednuts, 10 months agoThere are a few sites where I can select text and get a popup, but when I click on the icon, there is no response at all. For example
asahi.com
sankei.com
etc.
Is this difficult to fix?Developer response

Thank you for reporting. However, I tried it on asahi.com and sankei.com and it works fine here. - Rated 4 out of 5by joh6nn , a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by aptharsia, 3 years agoSwift Selection stopped working a while back and I was forced to find an alternative. I'm SO glad the developer forked it! This one works much faster/better options!

- Rated 5 out of 5by cheater, 4 years agoThis is the power user search add-on you've been looking for. The add-on is already extremely powerful and feature rich and has many time saving features, and it's still growing. I absolutely love it! The developer is very friendly and likes to work on suggestions from users. I can only recommend. The current developer forked SPC after its precursor add-on, SSS (swift selection search) was abandoned (the developer stopped working on it). A lot of powerful features have been added, such as POST search. Adding a new search engine is quick - just right-click on the search engine's input box and select "SPC - Add search engine". There are performance improvements: for users with very many tabs, SSS used to freeze for several seconds when you edited anything in the options. The developer of SPC fixed that in short order after I reported it.
If you use this add-on, please make sure to donate a little via the "Contribute now" button on the Mozilla add-on page! - Rated 3 out of 5by Derek, 4 years agoExcelent add-on. I would give it the 5 stars, but it bugs me that the license says it is GPL, while the git repo only contains instructions and readmes, and the XPI file contains unreadable minified files.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mark, 4 years agoI've been a long-time power user and fan of the original SSS add-on this add-on is based on and recently discovered this fork (SPC). It's awesome! SPC perfectly addresses the few remaining niggles I had about SSS. I now use this instead!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Sans Undertale, 4 years agoI'm not a fan of how the context menu option will always default to the clipboard when nothing is highlighted, but after importing my search engines and getting used to the pop-up, I think this might be one of the best add-ons of it's kind I've experienced yet.
