Needs more documentation

While writing a negative review about how this extension only works if you use Google, I realized that the extension needs permission to read your searches for each search engine you want to use it with. After fixing that in Safari settings, it works. I recall that there used to be something within the app or extension UI to help walk you through this, but now this app offers no help or explanation. It’s a shame.

Works great and developer is very helpful

I’ve been using it for a while and it’s been working great. It works just how I wanted it to. I had an issue with redirects and the dev was fast in his response and promptly fixed the issue. Highly recommend
