Welcome to the world of personalization in web browsing! Have you ever wished you could add specific functions to your right-click menu? Well, dream no more! With the Custom Right-Click Menu extension, you can create your own context menu rich with custom scripts, links, sub-menus, or even custom CSS!

Why Customize Your Right-Click Menu?

Imagine you’re a chef in a kitchen. You have a huge assortment of spices (functions) available, but they’re all stored away in a distant pantry. Wouldn’t it be easier to have your frequently used spices right on your countertop? This is where the Custom Right-Click Menu acts as your countertop — giving you immediate access to everything you love, right when you need it!

  • For Firefox: Download from Mozilla Add-ons.
  • Other platforms: Follow the instructions in the README to clone the repo and build the extension using yarn.

2. Create Custom JavaScript and CSS

Once installed, you’ll have access to a powerful editor right in the extension. You can write your own JavaScript scripts or CSS styles. Think of JavaScript as your sous-chef, helping you automate tasks like managing your tabs or creating bookmarks. Custom CSS styles are like garnishes that make your web pages look even better!
