非常好用！可惜无法使用前进/后退功能。希望出一个扩展，启动/关闭浏览器时自动清除所有历史记录，而不是直接关闭记录。

Extremely bad since I turned it on couple days ago (again) I feel like my search engine has been hijacked keeps sending me to different search browsers I tried to delete it but it wasn't allowing me it kept closing the browser ever since I turned it off the browser doesn't randomly go to different search engines and it doesn't say something like Searchgate
