Definitely still room for improvement in terms of design, but the functionality is amazing. It saves me a lot of time going back and forth between tabs.

Great potential, but not quite there...yet! It needs a bit of work. As of right now, only one page of results means SEO is key on the sites you are looking for. I don't like the fact that I can only see one YouTube video and can't scroll beyond that. I would also like to see the addition of Wikipedia, CC image search, or customize them like you can with the browser search bar. I also would like to see the ability to use "copy link address" context menu when I find what I am searching for. This would be great for bloggers or social media folks who need to find a quick reference link that they want to link to from their post. Again, really great potential, and I look forward to future development.

Love it. Two recommendations though, 1: More options in the initial window. 2: I think the popup window should be the default. You can move it to where you you want without going into popup mode and then having two search windows which isn't ideal if you're trying to read and research at the same time. Otherwise, great work, many thanks!

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.

Quick Research requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • Critical ****** ****** ** ******* ***** ***** *** ** **** ** ***** **** ******** ****** *** ******** ********** * ******* ********
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Quick Research may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
