Excellent! I personally use the search engine keyword feature a lot (e.g. g for Google, d for dictionary.com, wk for Wikipedia, wa for WolframAlpha, so for StackOverflow, etc.) and I hate sites randomly polluting my search list with entries I don’t want. Would highly recommend.
설치한 이후에 기본 검색 엔진을 다음으로 바꿔놨음에도 지멋대로 구글 검색엔진으로 검색되는 경우가 50% 쯤 됩니다
What a time saver, of course Google would require an extension to disable a bad feature…
Seems to work as advertised. I have visited and searched on CNN, Reddit, and Yahoo and no search engines have been added to Chrome. Thank you. Will update if anything changes.
It doesn’t work.
My chrome browser keeps getting changed into a yahoo search regardless of having this add on 🙁
Chrome’s default behavior is unacceptable, this is a life saver. Honestly.
If I wanted to add search engines, I would add them manually.
Thank you for making this extension.
Great! Now I don’t have to deal with typing “s” and having a million search engines coming up.
it works!
Get’s rid of the junk search engines!
WARNING! THE EXTENSION HAS MALWARE!!
The extension has recently added malware that makes a browser redirect when you search google, and redirects you to an identical-looking page, that has another domain name… you can see this yourself, by doing the following:
1) add extension
2) use ctrl+k to search google in the omnibar, enter search term and hit “enter”
3) the google search loads. Go to a another tab. now go back to the tab with the google search. now the page has reloaded with another domain name than google.
Love it so much <3
I’ve had this thing installed for years and just forgot about it. I just checked and not a single extra search engine clogging up the list of ones I’ve curated and custom configured!
This is the most amazing add on I have ever used.Thank you so much guys.It has blocked every search engine I usually get a big list under my default search engine and this has blocked every one.I don’t usually do reviews on extensions but this has to have one.I am on windows 7 and in the UK if that helps anyone out.
Big thanks again as I usually spend on and off the whole day keeping search engines from taking over.
I’ve been using it for over a year, works perfectly.
It works! That’s all I can ask for.
Thank you! I hate the way these search engines are added without my permission. now I don’t have to.
I hate this behavior, Thank you for your extension.
I liked it. Past-tense. Stopped working on updated versions of chrome. I miss it.
Great idea, but it’s not working for me in the latest version of Chrome. Search engines are still being added.
Thank you for making this extension, loved it
This is the single most useful app I have in my Chrome browser… Gone are those massive lists of “search engine” options that are automatically installed every time you visit a new webpage… How they used to annoy me…
Thank you so much for a clean & easy to use “install & forget” app that just works 🙂
Search engines list is now clean! Thank You!
Works great so far.
The new version works with a 100% success rate for me. Thanks, brilliant work 🙂
