Excellent! I personally use the search engine keyword feature a lot (e.g. g for Google, d for dictionary.com, wk for Wikipedia, wa for WolframAlpha, so for StackOverflow, etc.) and I hate sites randomly polluting my search list with entries I don't want. Would highly recommend. Edit: as of 2022 Chrome comes with a similar feature built-in - search engines are added but are "inactive" until explicitly activated by the user in Chrome settings. I think it's an arguably better implementation, which is why I will no longer be using this extension. Still, thank you Mr./Mrs. developer for your extension's great service!

설치한 이후에 기본 검색 엔진을 다음으로 바꿔놨음에도 지멋대로 구글 검색엔진으로 검색되는 경우가 50% 쯤 됩니다

What a time saver, of course Google would require an extension to disable a bad feature...

Seems to work as advertised. I have visited and searched on CNN, Reddit, and Yahoo and no search engines have been added to Chrome. Thank you. Will update if anything changes.

It doesn't work. My chrome browser keeps getting changed into a yahoo search regardless of having this add on :(

Chrome's default behavior is unacceptable, this is a life saver. Honestly. If I wanted to add search engines, I would add them manually. Thank you for making this extension.

Great! Now I don't have to deal with typing "s" and having a million search engines coming up.
