When I click the search bar at the top of the page it takes me to the plugin install page.

On mobile I'm able to search no problem. I guess that makes sense though because Chrome extensions on mobile aren't a thing.

Yea. It's not like we're tryin to block users :) We just found that without the convenience of a navbar search - you're ngmi (not gonna make it) as a search engine.

We hope we can drop all restrictions in the future.

This sort of attitude that prioritizes your own growth over the experience of your customers does not bode well for a company that is trying to sell itself as committed to user privacy.

yea. we didn't realize this extension install would make for such a terrible experience for some folks.

but we listen, so we dropped the requirement entirely.

happy open searching
