This extension was removed from Chrome Web Store on 2022-04-09

A very simple extension to quickly search Google's index of StackOverflow. From the omnibox, type "so", hit the spacebar, type your search and hit enter. You'll notice that when you hit spacebar, a small box that says "OverflowMyGoogs" will appear on the far left of the omnibox, replacing the "so", this indicates that the extension is active. Also, a useful shortcut to move the focus to the omnibox is CTRL (CMD) + L.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

OverflowMyGoogs does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
