User reviews

This ruler extension changes your default search engine.

The extension automatically changed my search engine to BING instead of Google. It's probably getting data too. I'm never downloading anything else from this developer.

The extension is good and works fine but it changes the google chrome omni bar's default URL from google.com to 'ivsmartfind.com'. Doing so without asking for any permission or anything is not good. Instead I am using Page Ruler Redux now.
