Natalia K (ID: 000000d8519b4e21) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/13/2023 This extension is a life-saver! I can't believe Chrome doesn't have this feature. I can't stand those saved searches popping up every time I try to search for something as it's incredibly distracting, so I had to remove them manually from time to time. This extension works like a charm - no more annoying saved searched for me!
