This just became unusable as the extension highlights the second "o" in Goooooogle. This results in Chrome always scrolling down to the bottom of the Google search page.

It seems to stop working properly some time ago and I can't find better alternative.

Sorry to give a 1 star since I used to love it (5 stars) but now upon hitting tab (or down arrow) it selects the 2nd page of results (the 2nd "o" in Goooooogle at the bottom of the page). Please fix it and I'll donate :)

It does not work anymore. Just goes straight to page numbers at bottom of page.

Please add a proper description into this plugin, I have zero clue if this is even what i am looking for.

Broken. Does not work (atm): Down arrow jumps to section below search results - currently related searches, and highlights it (first related search). It does not move to next search result. So you have to go back up again.

The "Focus the search box when any key is pressed" is no longer working for some reason :/ OLD review: This is amazing! Thanks so much for making this, Jacob! I hate google so much some times! I really need to learn to make chrome extensions.

It's difficult to use google without this extension! Only problem is that it takes too long to register the hotkeys. I often press the down arrow to get the first result but it hasn't registered, so it scrolls the page down instead. Then when it does register it starts at the bottom of the page. A bit frustrating. Google Instant was quicker than that.

Works well but recently it only scrolls through Images and the page numbers at the bottom of a Google search. I noticed this happening since July 20th, 2018
