⚉ CopyScan Firefox Add-On: Query Web with Selected Text

⚉ CopyScan is a Firefox add-on that enables users to scan and query web resources using selected text. By right-clicking on the chosen text, the add-on breaks it down and searches for each sentence individually using Startpage, Google Books, and Google Scholar. When finished, a report is generated, allowing users to remove hits or mark them as positive or negative. The add-on also provides a countdown timer during the scanning process.
