Problems solved by technology

This method of modifying the context menu has several disadvantages
One of the disadvantages of this approach is that the application has no control over the order and placement of additional items relative to the standard or additional items in the context menu
Another shortcoming of the current context menu modification technique is that the same menu items are provided regardless of the browser user's circumstances or the country the user is in when using the browser
Another disadvantage is that updating and changing context menu entries requires the user to install a new application on the user's computer
