User reviews
Pros
- Effectively removes the annoying 'Google recommends using...' pop-up, greatly improving user experience.
- Simple and does what it promises, making the browsing experience better without Chrome prompts.
- Users express high satisfaction and gratitude for the extension's functionality.
- Sometimes the pop-up appears very briefly but is quickly removed by the extension.
Cons
- Occasionally interferes with click actions on Google products such as Gmail reply buttons and Google Calendar sidebar.
- Does not work consistently for all users; some still see 'use Chrome' banners or homepage prompts.
- Lacks the ability for users to customize which sites the add-on works on or add additional sites like the Chrome Web Store link.
- Requests to add support for removing other Google prompts such as 'make Google your homepage'.

This is a fabulous extension for Microsoft Edge. My only complaint is that it sometimes disables click actions in Google products, like Reply in Gmail and sidebar actions in Google calendar. Turning off the extension temporarily is the only workaround I've found.

I have wasted so many heartbeats of my life trying to get rid of this super annoying pop-up! Finally this seems to be the solution. I even get some satisfaction every time it works since I can see that the pop-up tried to display and was immediately killed by the extension! All I can say it thank you thank you thank you!

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Remove 'Google recommends using ...' ad requires very minimum permissions.
