Review Summary
Users appreciate SelectON for its flexibility, stability, and efficient replication of Opera's selection popup, greatly enhancing their browsing productivity. Common critiques include the popup's non-persistent behavior requiring extra clicks, translations opening in new tabs instead of inline popups, and clipboard management that could be better integrated with the system clipboard. Additionally, several users miss direct typing or adding search engines, and some report search functions occasionally stop working. Despite these, the extension has a strong positive reception for its customization and usefulness.
Pros
- Highly flexible and stable, allowing for customization to user needs.
- Effectively replicates or surpasses similar features from Opera's built-in selection popup.
- Saves time and improves browsing efficiency by providing quick access to copy and search options.
- Supports multiple search engines and translation features within a popup interface.
- Positive user experience with intuitive design praised across multiple languages and regions.
Cons
- Lack of a persistent popup or sticky behavior requiring additional clicks to reuse functionality.
- Translations currently open in new tabs instead of displaying results directly in popup, impacting user workflow.
- Copy function places text into extension/browser clipboard rather than system clipboard (Windows), causing inconvenience.
- Absence of features such as 'Add to search bar' and inability to type searches directly without text selection.
- Search options occasionally fail, such as 'Google search on site' or compatibility issues on browsers like Edge after updates.
