Widget Witch (ID: 000000cd37f17ed4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/12/2022 I've been using SearchSK for a long time, and I have compiled a collection of bookmarks organized and formatted to make what I believe to be the best version of this extension. It has image search, video search, language translators, dictionaries/thesauruses, shopping, and more. I put together a document with instructions on how to get my version at www.tinyurl.com/searchSK , I believe you will find this to be worth it once you see it. Here is a visual rundown on TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMNoAPX8n/
