Отличное расширение. Почти то что искал. Единственное добавил бы сюда возможность изменение поисковой системы - цены бы ему не было)

It would be nice if the user could change the URL (since my standard google search has a few modifications). But I'm giving you 5/5 because apart from that, this is the only extension that really solves this incredibly annoying problem perfectly.
