Peter Theill (ID: 000000fd330119c1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/09/2014 Works very well but the UI for showing the "search box" is too small (in height) for me. Otherwise it works fine.

Barron Roth (ID: 000000168f9cdd16) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/12/2013 Interferes with Google Docs. Add ability to blacklist websites

Will McCarty (ID: 000000b2f9b9c1f0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/20/2013 It's great, except it interferes with the latest Outlook Webmail (OutlookWebApp), so every time I use a contraction, it opens up the search interface. That has made writing emails a very stress-inducing activity.

Ed Cormany (ID: 000000eff7eb710e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/11/2012 works great! …except it doesn't work at all on pages with frames. they're rare these days, but fixing that would be a big help.
