The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Search is best with a keyboard
Press Tab on a Google or DuckDuckGo results page and focus jumps straight to the first result. Press Tab again to move down the list, Shift+Tab to move back up, or use the arrow keys. Press Enter to open the result you're on. Your hands never leave the keyboard.
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Tab (anywhere on the page) — jump focus to the first search result
Tab — next result
Shift+Tab — previous result
Down arrow — next result, without scrolling the page
Up arrow — previous result, without scrolling the page
Enter — open the focused result
Every other key behaves exactly as it did before. The extension only acts when you press one of the keys above.
WHERE IT WORKS
Google — google.com plus every Google country domain (google.co.uk, google.de, google.no, google.co.jp, and around 190 more)
DuckDuckGo — duckduckgo.com
The list of results is rebuilt on every keypress, so navigation keeps working when the page re-renders — toggling a Google search filter, or DuckDuckGo loading more results as you scroll.
PRIVACY
Nothing is collected, stored, or transmitted. No account, no background process, no network requests, no analytics. The extension asks for no permissions beyond running its content script on Google and DuckDuckGo search pages; no other site is touched.
OPEN SOURCE
The whole extension is about 100 lines of vanilla JavaScript, MIT licensed, with no dependencies and no build step. Read all of it in a couple of minutes:

If a search engine changes its markup and navigation breaks, open an issue — or send a pull request with the updated selector.
