- (2023-10-26) Diego FC: Just to test it, here in this same extension page, in the Chrome Web Store, I select the word "Hotkeys" from the extension title, press Alt+Q, and I get a Google search for the word "Undefined". I haven't tested it much more, but clearly it didn't work on the first try, I don't know how often I might have to keep pressing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+V and Enter if this keeps failing.

- (2021-03-10) Adam Binksmith: Brilliant! But can you add support for Chrome's PDF reader?
- (2021-01-11) aSky: One of the most underrated extensions out there. Thanks
- (2020-11-10) David Hernández: Best in class, simple and easy to understand under the hood If you need it. I personally changed the search in Google Images for Google Translate.
- (2020-10-20) Andrea Carolina Arias Torres: I wonder if it would be possible that i select text in developer mode and the extension works. Indeed, that's what i wanted at first. The extension is very good, although sometimes it doesn't work, for example, when i select "Hotkeys for Search" in this page.
- (2020-07-01) ACID GRIP: ТО ЧТО НУЖНО ! Не ясно почему этого нет по-умолчанию в Хроме
- (2020-04-12) Oleg Golovin: Very convenient extension to streamline browsing experience when you need to search fragments from text being read.
- (2020-04-12) John Sweeney: This is AMAZING !!!! And the fact you updated it to search in background tabs is just legendary. Thank you!
- (2020-04-04) Flint Stone: BUG report: i can successfully modify a couple of the already existing hotkeys (e.g. "alt+a") to my own websites of preference BUT after every system restart or log out in linux systems at least ( im running ubuntu 19.10) it rolls back on its default settings and i would have to manually set them up again
- (2020-03-18) Alex Iosifidis: Very useful extension, made my daily work routine very easier. Thank you very much Juuso! I suggest showing the current binds on settings tab instead of the "Website 1 (Default: <bind here>)".
- (2020-02-06) phoulx: please add a feature: if selected text is a valid URL, just open it directly.
- (2019-03-17) Martine Kline: Works well enough, but I would like my searches to open in a background tab, allowing me to continue selecting-and-searching on my currently active tab.
