Has been a great extension but the latest update (1 Aug '25) seems to be glitchy and certain webpages don't load correctly. I thought it was a general browser issue but after testing individual extensions, this one is the culprit so now I cannot use it. :(

Hello, before I rate, just a question, does this extension work in Incognito Mode? I have adjusted the Custom URL and allowed this extension to run in Incognito, but when I try to open a new tab in Incognito Mode, the new custom tab opens in a normal window. Do you know why this might be?

Hello, this extension works perfectly for my needs. It even works every time you open a new window and properly focuses on the address bar, so thank you! I am currently on the free trial but would like to know exactly which features in the settings itself will still be free after the trial ends and which ones will be behind the paywall.

You're free to use it, however certain premium features will not be available. The one-time payment is less than the price of a McDonald's Big Mac anyways :)

Just tried this app after finding it on the developers website. I am trying to set the default search engine to DuckDuckGo, which is set as the default in my settings. I haven't been able to do that. Otherwise, it looks very impressive.

Under Custom URL you should just be able to enter "https://duckduckgo.com/" ... If there's still issues, let me know what browser and what settings you have enabled!

Shady payware doesn't disclose they want money for it.
