User reviews

Breaks search tabs apart from "All" or "News". Have to disable the extension

Michael Pascual, 2024-11-27

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.

Cody Henderson, 2024-11-20

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.
