Recent reviews

As recent reviews have mentioned, this extension breaks the ability to navigate to other Google search tabs like Images and Products. I'm a big fan of this extension and hope that this issue gets resolved soon.

I truly do love the extension but when activated, a few other tabs stop working for me. Like images, products and a couple more. Need to disable "discussions" to acces them.

Breaks google image search button, please fix! As it stands I have to toggle on/off when I want to search discussions/images respectively. Great extension, I use it frequently, but a deprecation has developed.
