Jacob Davis (ID: 000000440101b21e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/23/2023 Echoing others - Don't hijack new tabs. It's obnoxious, scummy UX experience that breeds distrust. Update - Reduced the rating to 1 star after finding the extension *again* tried to hijack my tabs with no instigation from myself. Why would you put such an absurd, intrusive behavior into an extension? I've now uninstalled it.

Andrew Bradley (ID: 00000018c639a33c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/13/2022 Don't hijack new tab page as default!

Anirudha Gupta (ID: 0000003c7580f052) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/14/2022 When I type "Learn C#". It's redirecting me to the page which is "Learn C". This need to be fixed.

David Blickstein (ID: 00000045351a895b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/25/2021 By default the extension hijacks your "new page" tab. In fact, it's not clear from the description that it does anything OTHER than that. (Perhaps the description can be improved). But I don't like plugins that hijack my home page or new tab page as the default behavior. I've disabled it.
