Worked partially. Specifically, it also changed the default search engine without permission in the background. therefore immediatly removed.

Alan MUNTADAS, 2020-11-06

Works for me. But sometimes the browser's lang is not as the plugin shows. You need to set it again.The UI design needs a lot of improvement including background and fonts.
