Description

The Anki Web Browser is a simple Internet Browser within Anki (as the name suggests). It aims to make it easy when you are studying or editing a card and want to look something up on the internet. You can also use it to open up your system desktop instead of the embedded browser (from version 1.1)

For instance, you are studying a foreign language and suddenly there is a word which you haven't understood it properly. In such case it's common to shift to the web browser and make search for the term there. This addon makes this task smoother.

Therefore, this addon provides 2 functionalities:

  • Search the some text on a website
  • Import text and images directly from a website to a given card

Using

The functions of this addon are accessed through the context menu (either right click on mouse or right menu key on the keyboard) or using shortcuts.

Search selected text

While studying or editing a given card:

  • Select a word or sentence
  • Right click (or use the shortcut)
  • Search on Web
  • Select the desired provider
  • Then a new window with the web browser will be opened, if it isn't opened yet (or a new tab on your external web browser)
