I've been having problems with my browser and didn't know why. I finally looked at the extensions I have and saw this. I don't remember adding it. But, over the past 3 or so months I've been wondering why when I type in my browser, it doesn't auto-populate the rest of the link I'm trying to go to? And once Google's page shows up, I can no longer start typing in the search area without specifically going there to click to type (if that makes sense). So I am checking it out just now... This extension has over 60,000 users, 7 reviews and only 2 showing that are 5 stars??? I don't not see any info on Google about this extension. This review probably won't even be here after it gets caught by who ever this extension belongs to but, I don't trust it.
