I do appreciate this extension, in part. Has there been any progress to include regional variations, e.g. google.co.uk, as stated in earlier comments. If not, it just makes you move to an alternate, more flexible browser.

Great extension. Shame that Microsoft turn it off at every opportunity. Scared of a bit of competition eh Microsoft?
