| 2024-08-11 |  | | en | LOVE this extension, would have gladly "bought a coffee" for this developer if I saw such an option. My only suggestion is I am not sure why, at least as far as I can see, there is not a setting from within the extension to get to the extension settings. However you probably won't need to access them. |

| 2024-03-05 |  | | en | Works great on Chrome 122 with extension version 0.0.7. Follow the directions on the extension's options page. |

| 2018-03-28 |  | | Works flawlessly (after setup). Go into the "Options" menu, highlight the text in the box, right click and perform the Google search. That's it! |
