grepl is a powerful browser extension that adds a floating search window to your browser, allowing you to find text on any webpage with advanced features like regular expressions and case-sensitive searching.

This repository contains two separate versions of the extension:

• grepl-chrome: For Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers (using Manifest V3).
• grepl-firefox: For Mozilla Firefox (using Manifest V2).

• Floating Search Window: A convenient, draggable search interface that doesn't obstruct your view.
• Real-Time Highlighting: Matches are highlighted on the page as you type.
• Perl Regex Support: Use powerful Perl-compatible regular expressions for advanced search patterns.
• Case-Sensitive Search: Easily toggle case-sensitivity for your searches.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Use Ctrl+Shift+F to quickly open the search window and Enter/Shift+Enter to navigate between matches.
• Persistent Preferences: Your search settings are saved between sessions.
