It's really sad that both are gone. - https://dolske.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/photon-engineering-n... - https://dolske.wordpress.com/2017/08/04/photon-engineering-n...
I cannot be the only one that uses that functionality 100 times a day at least, and it's so not conveniently placed I used to misclick "View selection source" instead a dozen times a day, and now I'll be taking screenshots or opening the print dialog by mistake. I've been googling a way of rearranging the context menu on Firefox so that selection search is rearranged or has a keyboard shortcut and not _one_ soul has ever mentioned it in the past decade, which is maddening.
One of the reason I use Edge nowadays is that "Search with Google" is the second option, between Copy and "Search with Bing in the sidebar", which isn't ideal, but it's still search.
Copy? Keyboard/mouse buttons for that.
Select All? Why would I want to do that when I just made a selection?
Print Selection? How common can that actually be, to justify being positions above "search the internet for this thing"??
Take screenshot???? Really??
Why does "Inspect Accessibility Properties" get real estate there? That's a legitimate question.
If you're a keyboard user you can do: ctrl-c ctrl-t ctrl-v enter

It's had various tweaks since, but my day to day experience has been the same since then. This is not an absurd pace of UI change in my opinion.
And yes it is a conceptually simple UI, but with the whole stuff around the web with security, permissions, tab and window management and how an awful lot of modern computer use by an awful lot of people is conducted entirely inside a web browser it's a UI that is worth improving where improvements can be found.
