Hikmat M. (ID: 00000047ef8c127b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2022 After having used this google extension for a long time, I have come to the conclusion that it is a great addition. I must say that it has made my life so much easier, and it also saves me a bunch of time. Having the ability to find old links in one search is just wonderful. I have become such a big fan of this extension that it is something I have a hard time living without. I do not know the creator of the extension but he must be a great guy and I would love to download more of his work. Overall, I would give this extension 4.9/5 stars, but I have to round it up to 5/5 stars because of being a nice guy.
