(2021-07-22) Steven Chen: great to use on google search results. However, i can't really use on youtube, scholar, github, etc., which is not the same as written in the description. Hope some day it can be fixed, thank you!

(2021-06-06) Justin W: Works amazingly for google search results. In youtube the / to focus on search input works, which is great. On amazon.com nothing seems to work. Github already has the / to search shortcut so I'm not sure what it's adding there. Still 5 stars!
(2021-05-11) Enrique Llerena: Excellent and could you also have support for bing?

(2021-02-08) Philippe Fanaro: Amazing product. Extremely simple and very versatile. And it even works with other websites like Amazon. I wonder why this sort of thing doesn't exist natively. It was so awesome I ended up creating two other related extensions: youtube_kbd_nav and OGS Kbd Nav.

(2020-12-14) Tristan Godfrey: Should be a feature in Google! Can't live without it
(2020-11-14) Talat Kalybay: Shortcuts for go to Images, Videos, News, Maps doesn't work anymore! Please fix it, this extension is a brilliant, diamond out of a pile of mud.
(2020-09-16) Yuriy Stasyuk: Great extension!
(2020-07-19) Saajid Chowdhury: At first, it was exactly what I wanted. But ever since today, for some reason this happens: i see a blue arrow on the first search result, then i hit j, and it becomes a black arrow on the SAME search result, then i hit j, and then it becomes a blue arrow on the second search result. so you have to hit the down arrow/j twice for each search result, which is kind of annoying. I tried resetting settings to default and restarting chrome, but this still happens. edit: totally fixed. as for the settings themselves, they don't save even if i hit save. the only ones that do happen to save are the experimental settings (such as enabling it on youtube). edit: the default "next search result" keybinding is k, but vim users would prefer j. the default "previous search result" keybinding is i, but we'd prefer k here. problem is, i can't save my keybinding settings for some reason. when i click the save button, literally nothing happens. EDIT: everything above was promptly fixed, thank you so much! I'm glad I wrote this review. This tool is PERFECT. it does exactly what you want, 100% of the time. I wish I could give this 6 stars. better than other related extensions.
(2020-07-17) seongLae cho: after this update navigator don't move one by one when i send down arrow twice, it move down each url or card has two space for move
(2020-07-11) Austin J: Great extension when working correctly. Recently I stopped being able to type certain letters into the google search bar, though. I believe it's all the same letters as the shortcuts for this extension. I'm guessing some Chrome update broke the extension, hoping it's fixed quick! Thanks for the great software!
(2020-07-09) ekarron: Simply awesome! can't recommend enough
(2020-07-07) Christian Tusch: It's really simple to use and great but I'm missing one feature: It can't select "subresults" from the same domain (like for example stackoverflow). As a workaround I navigate to the parent result and then tab my way to the subresult. But that breaks the flow since I have to switch keys and I also have to go over the dropdown arrow every time. Would be great if you could add this some time!
(2020-07-01) Zevi Wolff: Really well done. thanks a lot
(2020-06-28) Jason Gomez: Absolutely essential extension, now working better than ever. Should really have millions of more users.
(2020-04-09) Thomas W: Does exactly what I wanted
(2020-04-07) Kastan Day: Really liked this. Simple, but solves a problem. No config required.
(2020-04-05) Guy Kaplan: Awesome!
