Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

It worked great for months, but now shortcuts stopped working on some websites? Any advice?

Extremely helpful extension that lets me quickly use another search engine if the one I am using is giving me results I don't like and has the added benefit of automatically copying and pasted selected text into its search bar (something many alternatives don't have), but as of this week (or possibly last week), this extension is causing STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors in Microsoft Edge. I hope it gets updated at some point in the future.
