User reviews

One of the best extensions that completely changes your browsing experience. I don't know what "best practices for Chrome extensions" this extension doesn't follow, but this extension is the reason why I'm using my Chromium browsers instead of Firefox or Vivaldi. Hopefully there will be a future update....

Newly it does not index text of the visided pages

If you search "let in", it will return some sites containing a "let" and separately an "in" rather than sites with the full phrase "let in".
