Doesn't work with videos section, i have filter setup for tiktok, yet it shows videos from tiktok. Otherwise it works great.

It's an awesome extension, and I'm glad it got revived. Unfortunately since I switched from Google to the awesome Kagi search engine, I can't use this extension anymore. Hoping someday the dev will add Kagi to the supported search engines.
