Review by Alexander B.
Rated 5 out of 5
by Alexander B., 8 years agoJust perfect! I switched from Chrome recently, where I used a similar, but much inferior extension. This one is among a few reasons why I'm probably not switching back to Chrome anytime soon.
Popup window is a real helper. And I wish Firefox itself had such a flexible and easy way of adding search engines as this extension has.
One minor drawback - it seems that the extension doesn't cache search engine icons, so they are sometimes redrawn one by one rather slowly.

posted 8 years agoI could not find a nice solution for this issue.
A solution, which will work only for the context menu, is do download on your computer the icons. Then, in the Options page, set the "Icon address" for each row to point to the local file. This address should be like "file:///C:/icons/google.ico".

- Rated 3 out of 5by ok, 5 months agoI was glad to find a replacement for another one, but I can’t make it work with some links… Don’t what I’m doing wrong. Also did not find how to manage the window.

- Rated 5 out of 5by algi, 2 years agoStill 5⭐,but a question as well: Why it stays on only few seconds and when cursor is moved the pop-up shuts off?

と言う感じにすると良いそうです - Rated 2 out of 5by kelendral, 3 years agoThis was/is one of the better search addons.
So you might ask why the low review:
1). It was delisted from Google for Privacy Violations. Thus clearly there are Privacy concerns.
2). The code is obfuscated. - Rated 2 out of 5by rediffusion, 4 years agoНет возможно выборочного поиска на нескольких сайтах одновременно. Нет папок и подпапок.
Фигня! 😒 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12799010, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by kkjiang, 4 years agoThe Favicon of each search engine is not "cached" to disk drive, they must to be re-downloaded after every firefox restart, it will be better if these favicons been cached.
