One of my all time favorite extensions. Hope that the developers update it so that Google will not discontinue it.

I really like what this extension offers, but there's a problem – it takes about 4 seconds to start up after clicking the Search Centre icon. I'm using it on the Edge browser, although it's meant for Chrome. This might be causing the delay, but I can't be sure. I hope there's a way to fix this.

Tem boas opções como de agrupar buscas e exportar, mas tô tendo problemas para adicionar novos provedores de pesquisa como Bing e Startpage. Mesmo usando os parâmetros de URL indicados pelos próprios provedores, não funciona.
