User reviews

Needs menu buttons at the top of the search page, not just right-click menus. Such great ideas but most functions don't work with Android mobile browsers like Kiwi and X-browser because right-click (and long click) don't work in many places (like blank space) in mobile browsers (Firefox-type browsers are even worse, so it's not going to work there either when Chrome extension support comes to mobile.) Endless search works in Kiwi. That's how I know the extension is actually working. But there is no "Google-Enhancer" context entry at all when I click on a link in the Google Search page. (I've left feedback on Github for Kiwi support.) Could have been so good! I may try this on desktop but I don't like the extra clicks necessary to access features (like date range) in the context menu.

Actually really cool. The highlighting of the text is just right. And flipping pages with arrows is so convenient.
