I ❤️🔥 UR plug-in- Select Text 2 Search Support Button on the Play Store 4 free cuz it's a super badass idea 2 have searchable capabilities built-in 2 the text edit options throughout Android OS & all overlays but also, please find away to add Google Select Text 2 TTS Support Button as well that's as easy 2 integrate the Support Button capabilities setup & super easy like the Select Text 2 TTS Setup & that would make this plug-in up-to-date W/ Android 15 OneUI7 & ect for all Android 15+/- devices

Been 3 more years and I can't live without it - summer 2026. Since Chrome is the only Chromium browser that won't add a "share link or text to browser" in the share sheet, this app is a godsend. If I need to share anything to open in Chrome, this does it! Edge, Samsung Internet, etc. all have a shortcut in Share but not Chrome! Thanks, this app does exactly what it says it will. Reviewing on January 29, 2023. Pixel 5, Android 13

When using YouTube, when I highlight some text I've written in the comments box so that I can check spelling or research a name, etc. I don't see a web search option in the drop box. It's still the same old, copy, paste, select all, but no web search option. I thought this app provided that. I'm using Android 15.

I'm sorry to give a bad review score, I just need your attention to help me get this to work. I'm trying to use it inside and app called obsidian, and it isn't working for some reason. Any clues ?
