per Carottinger, לפני 7 שניםGute Idee, vieeeeel zu komplex beim Hinzufügen neuer Suchmaschinen (keine Icon-URL - keine Suchmaschine???) - schon mal was von Usability gehört?

If you feel adding a new engine is complex, I don't think you're doing it correctly. Right-click a search bar on a webpage and choose 'Add Custom Search' from the menu. Click the Add button or Advanced -> Create to tweak the settings.
> (no icon URL - no search engine ???)
Currently, it does require a valid image to add a new search engine. Maybe it should interpret a blank url as using a generic icon instead of preventing the process from completing.
> ever heard of usability?
Yes I have heard of usability. In fact, most users find this add-on to be very easy to use. Maybe you should consider why you seem to be the exception.

- Classificate 1 de 5per LawrenceSan, לפני שנתייםI've used many, many different extensions in several different browsers over many years. (I'm an experienced web developer, starting when the web was first invented, and can code several different web languages -- in other words, I'm not a newbie.)
ContextSearch web-ext has the most complicated, buggy preferences interface I've ever seen in a browser extension. I have it running in both Firefox and Chrome, and when it works it's great -- but trying to customize it, add search engines, etc. is a nightmare.
Currently one of the engines in my ContextSearch list is "Google Maps". It works fine in Firefox, but doesn't work at all in Chrome, just leads to a blank page. So I tried exporting it from Firefox into Chrome. Forget it! The export/import features in the extension's customization interface appears to just export the URL for the icon, not for the search engine itself? And some of the gazillion preferences-interface elements for this extension, in both browsers, appear as just solid gray blocks -- regardless of what theme I use, or whether Dark Reader is on or off, or what other interface options I choose for ContextSearch itself. Of the options (including links) that I can see clearly, most of them don't do anything like what their name implies or what I'd expect them to do.
I haven't given up on it because, for the engines I finally get working, it's very useful. But I spend more time wrestling with this interface than with all my other (many) installed extensions put together! - Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 5599219, לפני שנתיים

publicate לפני שנתיים(edit) That bug has been found and will be fixed in the next release
The save bug is known and may have been addressed in a recent version. I know it's been a persistent annoyance.
As for the transparency, you should be able to set that yourself using CS Options -> General -> User Styles. Use CSS selectors to apply opacity levels to the menu. If you need help, open an issue at the github site.
