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.

Haven't gotten it to work yet - I am using another plugin that blocks results from showing and the button from that plugin and this plugin overlap. Is it possible to change the button position?
