  1. Text selection pop-up menu (not just urls)

This was requested already here: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker/issues/191 To be honest that's not difficult to add, I've already done something similar in another app. It's just that, since you can easily press share and do almost the same (with an extra click, that's true) I've prioritized other features first.

  1. Quick settings tile dismisses if no link found in clipboard, allow normal pop-up window to able to search/scan

This is true, right now the app will just say 'no link detected' and close it. I guess it still makes sense to allow the user to at least edit the content (perhaps you have a pattern to convert a special syntax into a valid url) but it will be a bit confusing for normal users. An option (disabled by default) to 'open' any text should be a nice solution.

  1. Menu options to web search request (ez: Google, bing, others custom)

You mean like a new module to open google/ddg/bing with the text to search? I think this is already native with the firefox app (I do have it) but it may be an interesting new module (sometimes you want to search a link instead of opening it). You can use a pattern for this, but still.

Could you create two issues for suggestions 2 and 3? (I'll create them otherwise). This can be closed after. Issues with multiple suggestion make tracking and linking suggestions harder. In any case: thanks for them!
