Chew Wei Quek (ID: 000000c299a5c689) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/28/2022 If only it can rearrange the original result in 2 columns without any change. I wanted to screenshot a phenomenon where the advertised website would be assigned to other values than the one in the search result, but clearly this doesnt do it. Query: Room Rental in XXX, Result: AD Website A: Room Rental in BBB Normal result Website A: Room Rental in XXX

Sofronie Cristian (ID: 000000784f85f72f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/09/2022 It is great but it messes with local search with a &tbm=lcl where maps are shown. It should use a regex to disable the extension on such pages.

Gevell Torturer (ID: 000000a90dfe014c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/29/2019 Great idea. But need some improvements. Messes up image search. Sometimes breaks a search result in middle sentence. Would be nice to have option of placing every other result in second column. Hope it gets updated

中山英 (ID: 000000debd0cf7c7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/04/2018 google検索結果が2列表示になり、見やすいです。 ただ、新しいデザインに最適化されていないので、Stylusでcssを当てて対処しています。 #center_col { margin-left: 0 !important; margin-right: 0 !important; padding-left: 40px !important; } #res { padding-left: 0 !important; padding-right: 0 !important; width: 90vw !important; } .g { margin-left: 2.5% !important; margin-right: 2.5% !important; }
