Description

It would be cool for the browser addons to do stuff beyond encrypted chat.
Especially something like:

Highlight text => encrypt (choose recipient)
Highlihgt text => decrypt (if you can)
via right click menu

that would make it very useful for email encryption

Research direction

Start by locating the browser addon entry points and the existing encrypted-chat integration. Determine how a right-click action can access highlighted text, choose a recipient for encryption, and attempt decryption, then define done as both actions working from the browser context menu for email or other selected text.
