QSearch Extension

Have you ever met someone new, heard that your friend has a new crush that you've never met, wanted to see which social media platforms your friends are on, or want to find celebrity accounts on social media??
If so, QSearch will allow you to search the top 15 most-used social media/websites at once so that your searching becomes much easier! Instead of manually searching a name over a dozen times, use this extension to do the same once on any tab.

Note: If there are any social media platforms/websites you'd like me to include, leave a rating with your suggestion and I will update the extension!


Notice: This extension works within the capabilities and legalities of Google Chrome. Thus, searching is not smooth on sites such as Instagram due to their lack of a search page.
