Clicking "More>>" link on pop-up opens google search in a new tab.
Feature Request: User can set search engine of choice (DDG, Bing....) for "More>>" link in Preferences -> Extension Options.
My env: D-A add-on for FF on Mac, configured to a non-google search engine.

#45 asks for a different search engine out of privacy concerns, since the extension (seems to me looking at ./background/background.js) constantly sends Google what word you're selecting by its default settings. There is still SimplyTranslate to proxy Google Translate and Startpage to proxy Google Search, if the requests come from the user themselves anyway.

This request/issue on the other hand merely asks for the "more" option to open up a page of a different search engine, which could be done using Redirector or maybe even Privacy Redirect / Libredirect. I personally find #45 more important to be solved rather than only modifying the "more" link.

For now though, I don't use the extension because it queries Google Search. I think this should also be noted in its description, or at least on the repository's README, so people don't have to go through all the issues or dig in the code; not everyone understands, so transparency should give people more comfort/trust (other than it being open source).
