It has potential but not useful for me without keyboard shortcuts to select different results. I'll check it again after some months in case they have been added. Regards.

I liked it first when it could do what I wanted to e.g. display a search preview window in google search (on same window). I could play youtube videos while searching. Now, this function does not work anymore, not for youtube only but for other sites too. And one of it's problem is that it's not displaying the web content clearly. If a website has a different layout or web language it shows error or display weirdly. Quite disappointing after an update when it worked very well.

The extension works really well, no ads so far and no complaint about that. However I have just started using it recentlu, so do not know if I will encounter a bug with this. I really like the idea for search preview and great to see such feature which were once integrated with google search by google works again. I also have a suggestion for the developer: Please, could you make an option to show thumbnail of the page too, so the preview would load faster for those with slow bandwith and just who wants to see the thumbnail not the whole site preview. This way whomever like thumnail or whole preview can select either or both of them depending on their preference. Thanks.
