Summary

Analyze keywords

It's yet another replacement New Tab page.

UPDATE: v0.2 Have added ability to set a default search engine. Syntax is: @ /q which would set your default to DuckDuckGo. Just searching for @ will clear it and you'll be back to Google as default. Preference is only set in localstorage, so if you delete that you'll have to reset it. There's more about this in the help section (search for ? to access help). Searching for #examplesearch will now route directly to Twitter. ! flip gets you a randomized Yes! or No!

Simple & beautiful. Love it, thank you! I do wish I could change the default search engine though :/
