Great tool at first, but now it forces you to use yahoo.com as your search engine. Do not use this app.

SCUM OF THE CHROME WEB STORE! Works, but is malware. This extension serves its purpose as a highlighter, but after around a month of using it. It started to redirect all my searches to coolnewtabthemes.com and later yahoo.com; jacking my search queries in the process. Such a disappointment to have malware in such a simple and innocent extension. Disabling/uninstalling this extension resolved my issue.
