So useful and works fine. I still don't get why Google removed the link from search page and forced millions to lose time for extra clicking. Thank you for your great add on!

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.
