Matthew Tull (ID: 000000a94947a472) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/22/2018 Doesn't seem to work. I do my searches in the omnibox and still get country specific stuff.

icon

Bhushan Hadkar (ID: 000000a4fecae22d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/06/2017 Works Just as Described. I would rate it Five stars if you could add one little toggle to Enable and Disable the extension from the icon itself. Maybe clicking on the icon could do this it would be easier to switch from google.com and country specefic google search. Otherwise just perfect.
