I tried it for the "Images" link in Google, in incognito with incognito access enabled for the extension, but it didn't work. Manually changing the link works fine so the extension is the problem. It was supposed to turn off safe search (permanently through your extension), by changing https://www.google.nl/imghp?hl=nl&ogbl to https://www.google.nl/imghp?hl=nl&ogbl&safe=off

Works well but I wish we could disable URL check. I am getting a lot of "Replaced URL, but it looks like a wrong webpage URL." Because I got other chrome plugins that allow shortcode URL's that look illegal such as go/mylink/myparam
