Description from store

Create a url dynamically from selected text. If you come across a website address that's not a link, highlight it and right click it. Click the selectURL option (in your right-click menu) and a new tab will open that site.
Doing this to the word "wikipedia", for example, would take you to wikipedia.com.

This works for fake url's as well! For instance...
example[dot]com -> http://www.example.com

*NEW* Supports highlighting partial url's of youtube videos!
For example, text starting with "/watch?v=..."

Many other variations of highlighting words will work as well, but keep in mind, selectURL'ing "not4r3alw3bsit3" will take you to "not4r3alw3bsit3.com", but that doesn't mean the website exists.
