Simply does not work. Upon installing it occupied my CPU, google search kept loading and once it calmed a bit and after several times of refresh still didn't work. I don't understand other positive comments.

Perfect addon. We, Europeans, are shooting our selves in the foot with EU regulations on tech. Was struggling until I found this extension.
