Conflicts with standard search capability of browser.
Rename search "mdn" to something else (for ex "m") in order this extension to work.
Worked great for me typing in the address bar to get search prompt: 'mdn + TAB' --> MDN Search |
Amazing. Feels like something that should already exists for every website as a browser standard feature
