Web browser extension to search SIMBAD

I present to you a minimalistic web browser extension that brings the SIMBAD search functionality to wherever you are in the browser. The extension is currently available on both Firefox as well as Chrome.

Firefox store

Chrome store

The extension can be used in multiple ways: by entering basic queries or coordinate-based queries into the popup displayed when clicking the extension icon in the browser toolbar, or by highlighting text on a webpage, right-clicking to open the context menu, and selecting the “Search SIMBAD” option.
