Darshak (ID: 00000035963e8a4b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/07/2022 Why would you focibly change my default search engine? And that too without my consent. People should sue you. Your purpose should be to just TTS and you are doing such a thing in background. When disabling and enabling this extension it again sets its own search engine as default which is both annoying and unacceptable. I am removing this extension rightaway.
