User reviews

2 stars because there is no option to not show books showing you searched on Google which that is a problem for people who doesn't like books or never wanted to read books from Destiny Discover. This is not useful. Also, that feature as I mentioned in the first sentence is actually important. The rest is fine (but might depend what people say) for some people. I wouldn't say this is useful unless you read books or read from Destiny Discover. Also, there is already a feature that in Google search (when you search something), there is a option called "Books" in the search. It is below the search bar on the website but it sometimes may not appear (unless you press the 3 dots that say "More" and see it says "Books"). So there is no reason why this extension exists. Also, it takes up a little bit space as there is no reason why you need this extension or why this extension exists
