Mr. Schäeffer (ID: 00000068605369cd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/15/2022 Terrible for me at least i tried to search and click on inputs from the text and nothing happenned only works on some links at google search unfortunately not on any text or element you should remove that from the description of the extension is misleading people. And another problem is the extension input field doesn't accept paste on it only typing that's another issue because it saids is to improve productivity paste a text is a must.

Auronus Ben (ID: 000000025bd036a9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/07/2020 Hello Eric, I really love your app. If you don't mind I was wondering if I could suggest you some improvement... It could really be usefull if we can save the word we are looking for somewhere and just click on the app to run it and search for the word we have saved. Is it possible?
