Finally a "search Google for" "force to background" that actually works! Others on here don't work, this one does.
working perfectly fine. 👍👍
I've found a bug: If you add page to a bookmarks it gonna switch back to default tab behavior, without switching the plugin off. To fix this you need to open tab with default behavior that was set in the plugin options... Until you add some page to bookmarks again.
Parece que ya no funciona.
I thought I wasn't going to be able to find something that forces "Search Google for..." to open in a background tab but this works!
I actually checked the activities and I can confirm that it doesn't load any adware/malware on any tabs you have open. If it was the case before then Google should have claimed the extension from this dev and made it a feature into Chrome for breaking TOS.
This doesn't work at all like it claims. I don't know why people keep voting it high stars while saying it doesn't work.

I have used this for a while, only to realise that it effectively hijacks your Google search results with unwanted ads, and they link to unsafe sites. I only saw this due to the removal of software that had been silently blocking this extensions activity as malicious. This extension is malware by any definition- DO NOT INSTALL IT! The developer is clearly a deceitful scumbag.
Great extension, does what it is supposed to do.
