This is a great service you are providing the online community. I consider you guys to be freedom fighters of a kind, helping to keep peoples’ privacy and stop Big Brother
invading every aspect of their lives.

It might seem like a small contribution to human rights, but
considering how pervasive Google is, and how much the
American government uses them to invade the privacy of
citizens, you guys are heros.

I mentioned these on the AMO page, but I thought I’d bring them here, not complaints but suggestions:

1. Include alternative Image Search pages like Yahoo and Bing.

2. Think about including a way to block the search suggestions sidebar when and if it lands. Maybe include a link on the page to switch it on and off.

3. Force Google to use normal font sizes. They appear still be testing the larger fonts in search boxes and they only randomly appear for me, but the larger fonts are very annoying. I guess this is another “when it lands” features.

Many thanks for this very useful add-on!

One request/suggestion: it would be nice to have an option to search Wikipedia in other languages than english/american. In my case, it would help me a great deal to be able to search the Dutch wikipedia in one click.

Thanks for awesome addon. I did not want to register for Google account so I am posting suggestion here instead of discussion section.

“Add links to other search/news/shopping websites” does not work yet in latest Optimize Google version. Rest of the options I use on Google services work great.

Great Work. “Thumbs Up” Can you add the old Language Files from CustomizeGoogle to OptimizeGoogle?

Absolutely understand your concerns, we plan to submit this as an experimental add-on this week. Experimental because we still need to fix one issue and would also like feedback on the add-on before we release it in the wild.

When is your add-on going to be available at Mozilla’s add-on database? I don’t quite trust something that haven’t been approved there

Thank you for the input, however the developers don’t often read the comments here. So please post your request in the OG discussion group (link on left side), so that it is added to the “to do” list.
