User reviews

Great but it doesn't retain the custom setting nor any other setting per search. So it reverts to its standard first entry libgen.is. Which is now blocked here due to Russian sanctions. The .rs isn't but I have to constantly add it in the custom box per search.

Ext. opened the search panel just fine but when I put in my search terms it would open a new tab and say that the site could not be reached. :(
