iRokr (ID: 0000000d83ad65ee) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/16/2023 The "Focus the search box when any key is pressed" is no longer working for some reason :/ OLD review: This is amazing! Thanks so much for making this, Jacob! I hate google so much some times! I really need to learn to make chrome extensions.

Lo Axhamre (ID: 0000005b463944e3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/25/2023 100 % invaluable! 🙏

Marcus Widerberg (ID: 000000ef016c1f9b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/03/2022 Broken. Does not work (atm): Down arrow jumps to section below search results - currently related searches, and highlights it (first related search). It does not move to next search result. So you have to go back up again.

Radley Sustaire (ID: 00000049b1c5c13f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/29/2022 It's difficult to use google without this extension! Only problem is that it takes too long to register the hotkeys. I often press the down arrow to get the first result but it hasn't registered, so it scrolls the page down instead. Then when it does register it starts at the bottom of the page. A bit frustrating. Google Instant was quicker than that.

Armin Ghorbanian (ID: 0000001ba95314bf) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/25/2022 Clashes with ctrl+tab (tab cycler) of my browser (Vivaldi).
