G.B.Switcher Extension

G.B.Switcher has only one function: when you are googling something, click the icon in the address bar, chrome will open a new tab, and show you the searching result of baidu.com, and vice versa.

The extension only works when surfing google.com, google.com.hk, google.cn(both http and https protocols) and baidu.

For bug reporting and feature request, mail me at [email protected].

* It now works AGAIN. Minor bug fixed.

========================================================
2010-08-07:
*High CPU usage problem solved.
*Since google's SSL search service cannot be reached in China, it uses the http version
*Google search result will be open in a new tab

========================================================
* Thanks to the inconsistency of baidu's searching url parameters between different search products, the extension may not work when searching for news, images and so on. The bug was fixed.
* Some optimization of the javascript code.
===================================================
2010-08-07:
*高CPU占用问题解决。
*因为https杯具了,所以改回了http。一般情况下没有太大的问题了
*Google搜索结果会在新标签中打开

------------------------------

介个东东说白了就是为懒人准备的,因为chrome允许懒人直接在地址栏里边敲关键字,而我又用得很爽,但是偶尔Google的结果很难看,去百度呢,又懒得得再敲一遍网址和关键字,所以就搞了这个东东。

使用方法:
安装完了会在地址栏最后显示一个图标,每次搜索的时候,等google的页面出来了,点一下这个图标,就自动新开个tab,然后去百度里边搜你的关键字。

偶尔可能会有crash的情况。
如果是被墙的词,插件取不到词。
