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!

Terrible, absolutely atrocious, Searx itself is superb, I run my own instance and it's very good indeed and highly recommended. However, I have no idea what the developer of this extension was possibly thinking , this extension simply stops you using the internet as the only searx instance used is not stable. Don't bother with this unless you want to be frustrated out of your mind, just have a searx bookmark with the instance you want for brave. All other web browsers you can just add it at your home page, this is a complete waste of time and effort.
