I have been using few awesome excellent and extremely useful extentions like youtube for Tweaks, autocontrol, Extension manager, Bypass Paywall clean, Tapermonkey, ublock and now I am happy to say the latest one 'Selecton' has found its deserved premium place into the league. This is the super extention which has made surfing super easy and works seamlessly. I thank the developer for providing this, It's a must have if you seek information on google regularly. Although if I may suggest few improvements if you will - after selecting the text when we want to extend the selected text to include more text, we use drag handles which does not work at all, it bounces unselecting the text or just selects whatever it can select. I generally do not write reviews but this has made me and it was totally worth it THANK YOU !!!
