Description

This simple extension adds an IMDb search for any text you highlight to the right-click menu. If you see a name that you want to look up on IMDb, just highlight the name, right click, and select "Search IMDb for <Your text>" on the menu. The search executes in a new tab by default or in the same tab or a new window depending on a user's settings. Saving this setting requires the storage access permission. The extension is tiny and takes very little memory. To keep it small, there are limited options. The extension "Right-Click Search IMDbPro" is available if you want to search IMDbPro (requires IMDbPro account). Install both if you want both search options.

I have been using this exstension for awhile now, lately however it has been disappearing from my context menu. It is still installed among my extensions but not usable from the rightclick menu. The only way I have found to make it reappear in my context menu is to uninstall it and then reinstall. is there another fix for this? UPDATE 3/15/2024 to above no longer shows in context menu whatsoever
