Create a url dynamically from selected text.
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.

- (2016-02-06, v:0.0.0.6) G. Gamez Gamez: send words in urls.
hi what about sending for example a selected word in a preset url "www.translate.com/word="xxx" we could create urls with "###" characters, and when we want to send a word in that url we choose in which url we want to send it. the selected word would replace the "###" in the url in the same way than the "url link" extension for firefox.
