Recent reviews
Great extension which I used for a long time, unfortunately seem to have stopped working properly for the last few weeks where some shortcuts doesn't work anymore on the google search result page, even after trying to change them under settings.
J-walking still works. Something updated on Google and now other search engines like Google Images aren't accessible by using those search shortcuts (e.g. 'i' for Google Images).
Currently not working, specifically pressing "i" to go to images tab on google. Unin/reinstalled, checked/changed settings. Won't work.
