Clever idea, but don't copy any passwords or sensitive information with this. 😁

Thanks! I don't store any copied data though - don't want to deal with all the GDPR stuff 😛
Give me the option to have it paired to not my copy key.

Makes sense, just opened an issue on GitHub and will implement soon - Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice work bro. Yeah I hate the idea of what I copy hitting certain endpoints; as you are doing a GET request to duckduckgo. It would be logged in a couple of places.

Hi PH! zap! is a chrome extension which can quickly lookup terms you don't understand, or want to learn more about. All you need to do is copy it to your clipboard, and zap! will show a notification with some info for you 📜 Let me know what you think!
Very clever hack ! 🙌
This is something I was always looking for on Windows.
Not going to copy anything while browsing incognito. Nope, not gonna try that at all ~3 seconds later~ *Opens a new incognito tab*

hahahaha you need to manually enable chrome extensions for them to work in incognito 😛
Kinda cool, but are we really going to "solve" copy-pasting into the URL bar and selecting the result from the preferred source? A lot of the time google will even define terms, give business profiles etc. right from the results page. On mobile there's a "web search" option when you highlight words in browser. I don't see utility, could anyone please explain?
