User reviews

I found it by accident. And I'm loving it. Well made and highly customizable. Something that I appreciate the creator for doing.

I use wikipedia a lot. A lot of time went to going to the site and searching for the term. This extension reduced time taken to access the site. Added to my productivity. Would recommend!
