It's a good extension but the list of ads tracker that in full view is a turn off. It's good for the short click and google map open but ads on every other page search.

Search Hijacker, remove this as it's gonna add a "trending now" section to all your search results on Google.

Google Suchergebnis Seite wird manipuliert. Es tauchen Links auf, die auf Bing verweisen: https://gotosearchnow.com/?guid=877e15a82fa0a426bfd4ce9a6d96625e4&ext=7&rdd=15&q=... Das geht gar nicht :-(
