Excellent tool to use as a doubleclick dictionary search. Unfortunately when I use my Firefox account to sync extensions my settings aren't synced! I have to add the dictionaries and favicons ...

Hi! Thanks for the review! :)

You are right, SSS doesn't support Firefox Sync currently. Sorry! I had implemented it but found a bug in Firefox (which I reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1423744) that could cause problems if the user's icon images exceed the storage limit, so decided to postpone it. It will come eventually, with the bug or not. ;)

Meanwhile, you can try the "Storage & backup" section and export your settings to a file. Then on the other computer you can import the file. I know... it's not as convenient... I understand your criticism. :)

    One of favorite addons, but I experience a weird bug every few months: popup behavior somehow switches from the default "Auto" to "Keyboard-only"

    Total garbage. Excessively complicated with no useful instructions whatsoever. There's not even an icon.

    It's great.
    However, as the number of search engines I want to use increases, it becomes too large to fit them all.
    It would be great if it had a multi-level structure using folders like bookmarks.

    Amazing addon, I have bunch of search engines saved and it prevents me from routing everything through google. Also I have integrated it with everything windows search app which makes it even more useful. Currently development is stalled but it's become irreplaceable for me.

    This extension is absolutely fantastic—the intuitive yet powerful interface, the deep customization options, and the full backup and restore features make it a joy to use. Truly impressive work. You've covered it all (except an Android version 😭 though I know there's a fork I can use instead).

    Very effect and clean. Easy and quick to setup and add new search sites and customize them.

    I am currently using it heavily for cross sites search and routine custom searches.

    Good morning , i hope you're well. So, more default SEs nice, but easy enough to add. Sweet, sweet ride!!! Stays open when other tasks need attention; not like bill's menus.
    6/5 bc this your only add-on.
    7/5 bc i can't see a way to donate for your exceptional effort. C u on github, hopefully.
    Peace, r
