User reviews
Pros
- The extension actually speeds up page loading by preloading pages and links, leading to faster browsing experience.
- Works especially well for users with slower internet or low-end computers, by minimizing page load times by a small but noticeable amount.
- Previously well-regarded and had an open-source codebase, with the developer having a good reputation in other extensions.
Cons
- Recent updates have introduced unwanted adware, such as injecting 'Smart Search' AI features with sponsored ads, without user consent or proper labeling.
- The extension redirects search results and links through a tracking domain called tatrck.com, which is flagged as malicious and raises privacy concerns.
- Users have reported the extension behaving like spyware or malware, including hijacking DNS requests and injecting adware, which significantly degrades trust and usability.
- It occasionally opens unsolicited ads and new tabs promoting other extensions or sidebar plugins, causing annoyance during use.
- The extension may slow down Google search results and cause display issues on some websites after recent updates.
