    Does not work in Firefox 78 and variants. Also prompts to change to some no-name search engine.

    It is overridden by the Firefox default every time.

    REPLY TO DEV
    Dude, you replied to an 8 months old post ! Like most people, I like to try out interesting looking extensions. I guess I found that your didn't perform how I expected it to, don't take it personally. It's not like I totally trashed the extension. I tried to be constructive at least and say why it didn't work for me.

    It Just adds some extra icons to the existing search bar. Please download a version like 34 to see what classic search bar looks like.

    Also it tries to add some stupid chinese search engine as default to browser.

    The behavior is introduced clearly in the description. Just read the description so you wont be confused then. I cannot understand why someone does not have time to read it, but are willing to have a try and leave a even longer comment here. Basically, this is what WebExtension (extensions for Firefox 57+) may done currently. If you prefer a fx24 like search bar, you would be better to switch to other browsers.

    It sets default search engine list based on your browser language setting. The default search engines only used to initial your search engine list and fill it when you try to reset your settings. You may simply delete any of them as you like. I had a double check about the initial search engine list. Only two Chinese search engines (and some common search engines in Chinese language, including Amazon and Wikipedia) are included here. If your browser is configured as simplified Chinese, baidu would be included; If your browser is configured as traditional Chinese, readmoo would be included. If not so, it should be a bug. You could report any bugs to me. But please include your browser language setting so I can debug it.

    Anyway, this extension is free and open source. You are welcomed to fork it and develop another extension for whatever you want. We would be happy if someone like you would create a better extension for this use case. Only remember that this extension is published under MPL-2.0 if you do so.

    This extension do not collection anything from your browser / computer. And even do not trigger a single network request it self. The site named `6905b838-e843-4ee3-9df0-b4c79673b21c.invalid` is literally _invalid_ and no one may hold that site. Your search words will only be sent to the search engine you configured in the extension but not any other servers. Extension come up by some default search engines to make it easy to use. The default search engine list is decided by your language settings, and the list is based on Firefox built-in search engines. If you dislike some search engine given in the list, you may just remove it in extension settings by one click.
