hey retards, don't rate something 1 star because it "doesn't work" for you
Dany Marrache
Doesn't work on Sierra Mac OS
Rizwan Ishak
Does what it says. Works on Linux Mint with Chrome V53. Simple and very useful.
KarlBookLover
no menu option, does nothing..
Joe Schroecker
Works!
Rayabhagi Srikanth
Windows only and overrides the new tab functionality without any notice.
Carles Alcolea
Seems that it ONLY works on windows and also the fact that its functionality is through the use of the "newtab" page... that's bad design. Fix those two things and we'll talk about a useful and unintrusive extension.

Handy extension and it's opensource :). Would be nice though if it didn't override the new tab functionality.
Bill Witt
It works great, but how do I uninstall this extension? It's not showing up in the Google Extensions list!
Liad Rubin
Very useful!
