Thank you so much

Vivaldi user here. This extension did nothing. Did not add the search provider as a selection. No actual function.

Thank you so much. I don't know what the other reviewer is on about. The extension works exactly how I wanted it to. Honestly they should delete that review. ¡Gracias otra vez!
