It would be nice if perplexifox had the option to make queries in both www.perplexity.ai and labs.perplexity.ai . The searches performed in labs.perplexity.ai, are faster and take much less time to process. Perplexifox is a tool I was looking forward to since I started using perplexity. I even emailed the perplexity developers to generate a tool that when you select a word or words, the follow up questions will open in a different browser tab (which perplexifox already does beautifully). I suggest that it would be great if when you select a word or series of words and press the right mouse button, and when you select the query option on www.perplexity.ai or on the labs.perplexity.ai page, it would open a promt to enter text, where you can give specific indications of what you want to search with the word or words selected. There is a add on for firefox called """2"Swift Selection Search"""""", you select a word or series of words, then a pop up contextual menu is oppened, and there one can change the parameters of search.

This addon is very useful, allows you to right click any text and directly search it in perplexity. It will automatically open the new tab and start the search.
