Lee Brown (ID: 0000003c19afae81) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/14/2020 Great add-on to put the Google results to before the hideous change. Did Google even think about people who use screen readers? they have to listen to the full URL now before the actual page title!

M Walker (ID: 00000025d9893cf8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/14/2020 Doesn't work at all. Using Google.com in Chrome, and the extension didn't change anything.

Vicky Lee (ID: 00000043d46e172a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/23/2020 THANK YOU! This extension immediately reverted my Google Chrome Desktop searches back to the OLD format. Result first, URL under that. This change was so annoying I was going to uninstall Google Chrome until I found this solution. I am grateful!
