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. :)

    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

    wish Thunderbird addon

    It would be 5 stars, but gave 4 just because it is not localized. You should really add a localization feature, that would make this extension PERFECT!

    It's perfect! So fast, tiny and customizable! I can adjust it just the way I want to. Seriously, discovering this just made my day.
