Please update this so Chrome doesn't remove it... it's my favorite thing "These extensions may soon no longer be supported Remove or replace them with similar extensions from the Chrome Web Store"

I loved the artwork but it was impeding on my searches because the link for the image was coming up in the search bar partway through me typing–had to remove from my browser because of this.
