>Seriously? You expect us to believe you maliciously hijacked user's search results and put in your own affiliate links just because you thought it would be "nice"??

I just told the intension behind this feature: 1) It's from my need. 2) It can help us make small mount of money. 3) We provide an option to disable it.

I apologize for the bad decision. We should did it like this: 1) Disable it by default. 2) Ask user's permission to enable it 3) Tell users why we add it.

I did it wrong but still respect users. This feature exists only one day and I removed it the new version.



At the very, very least, you could've just marked the results you were adding in as "Awesome-Screenshot added links" or something similar.

Explicitly matching the font, styling, and layout of the google results is a pretty strong effort to disguise them as google's own.
