it works, even on windows 8, but it requires you to be able to know the chess moves before you do it. I have to take 10 seconds to figure out what is the move notation for the move I want to make when I can just move it with my trackpad or mouse in a tenth of the time! Only recommend for those who have got a good chess vision score in this specific category.

wow

It just broke down lol

Good extension, b.A.A.d company. Google is sadly killing this off with MV3.

good game

It needed a restart to work, but now it's doing what it says. 5 stars for solving a horrible idea

Best extension ever created, obviously Google doesn't understand what UX is and is just throwing garbage at us non stop

no premove though

stopped working

big happy

Does not seem to be removing the highlights in the inital search, does this need an update?

Has a game losing bug where you type in a move and the arrow displays the correct move, but a completely different move is played out. I have it on video, so if the developer wants to look into it and correct the issue, I'd be happy to send over the video file. Great and necessary extension but the bug needs to be fixed asap.

thanks very good you solved my headache about this google fault I LOVE YOU😘

It's such a shame that tech companies want to determine that you need something instead of giving you the option. Thank you for this extension!

Does the job it says and works great. It's really just a shame this was needed instead of Google listening to its users.

At last!!

This extension stopped working for me. It's installed and on, but it's no longer doing its job. Google is the king of annoyance thought to be convenience, without the ability to disable their B.S. May be time to switch search engines.

Works very well but recently stopped working. I wish this would work as I paid for it.

There's some times where this accepts inputs such as Nxd4 and it simply goes Nd4, that shouldn't happen. If it says takes and there's nothing to take it should be ruled illegal

I came to this extension late, but I was glad to have found it. That said, it stopped doing what it says on the tin about a month ago, and I'm having to deal with these infuriating highlights constantly again, and it's like this extension isn't even installed on my browser. Very frustrating. I'm hoping whoever developed this extension can figure out a work-around, because quite frankly it's a stroke of genius (when it works)!

Worked consistently as described until the past month or so and then the highlights came back everywhere in Gmail. Tried removing and adding the extension to Chrome again, changing extension permissions/settings, etc... Extension still doesn't seem to be working at all for me now.

Worked perfectly, unfortunately it doesn't anymore. After typing a move on the keyborad and pressing enter, the notation doesnt disappear. For example I typ "Nf3" - *enter* -> moves but now "Nf3" is still in the input box. If I continue with Bc4 it says "Nf3Bc4" and obviously nothings happens.

Is it possible to remove blue text highlights from snippet?

This extension fixes the top-level search result links, but not the "People Also Ask" links. I wrote this little Javascript which removes the text highlighting from ALL links, even if they appear after the initial page load. Just add the script to Tampermonkey or Styler for Google.com. /* Remove text highlighting from Google search result links */ var it=0; function f(){ if(it==0||document.hasFocus()){ it++; for(var a of document.querySelectorAll('a[href]')){ var i=a.href.indexOf('#:~:text='); if(i>0)a.href=a.href.substr(0,i); } } } $(document).ready(function(){var iv=setInterval(f,500);});

Really cool app! but why not support premove?

You can try adding these: - Drawing multiple arrows / highlighting squares, sepearated by space or commas, e.g. "c6d4 g4 h2e5" - Allow premoving with it - Drawing with colors, by adding C/S/A (for Ctrl/Shift/Alt) at the start of it, e.g. "Se4e5 Cg4 Ah3e5"

Thank you for this very useful extension!

Thank you. I am in a graduate program and have to do key word searches every week. it is very annoying to pull up a primary source and have highlighting for what google "thinks" I am looking for.

Seems to work. The highlighting feature is hot garbage and it's infuriating that a. google thought it was a good idea, and b. there's no native way to disable it.

It's utterly ridiculous that we need an extension to disable this "feature". For me this was the straw that broke the camel's back; I'm switching back to Firefox as my default browser. Having one company control so much of my browsing experience has surpassed the point of being helpful now that Google is trying so hard to repeat Microsoft's abuse of IE's dominance in the 90s. However I still need Chrome for work so I'm very thankful that this extension exists, thank you!!

Fantastic! It was very frustrating scrolling all the way up an article to read the whole thing when constantly being shown the highlighted section. It makes me wonder if they are just trying to discourage people from actually researching things properly anymore...?

You are my saviour. You are the best. A genius. No more annoying scrolling to a paragraph I'm not even interested in.

Fantastic extension to remove an awful feature of chrome. Thanks chrome but I can locate the first sentence of a wikipedia article all on my own.

I have never once found the highlighting feature anything but annoying. I'd love to know what data Google used to decide it was a good feature. This extension works perfectly for me. Best part is it's open-source, so if it ever breaks we can a) complain to the dev, or b) just fork it and fix it ourselves.

Awesome app. Slows down Google's backwards death march to undo progress.

Great extension, was considering developing something like this myself (Mac user, touchpad is very slow/cumbersome) but first searched for prior art.. and this is a work of art!

Perfect. Fixes a terrible idea. Thanks.

Thank you! Works great!

Works!

I absolutely love this. I can actually work in chrome again.Is there any way i can support this. Send money/ beer/ something ?

very good, except for a couple of things -text box still visible in analysis screens and when watching other peoples games, where it doesnt work -cant premove recaptures in games personally i dont get the preference of typing the moves over just moving the pieces other than eliminating mouseslips, but typos still happen too. i like how you have to press enter to confirm moves incase of typos, but its simply too slow a moving option for gamemodes like blitz and bullet. definitely coded well however, and fun to use on the odd occasion

The extension does exactly what it should, it's just a shame that Google is incompetent enough that it is needed.

Fk google's prescriptivism and "knowing whats best", even removing the flag to disable this. Absolutely offensive to be "talked down" by removing the option.

- Castling doesn't work on Fischer Random. Also, 0-0/0-0-0 is the right notation so this should be an option too. - It would be nice if the move field gets auto cleared when you input invalid notation. Along with sound alert: this will feel more haptic than text alert. -It would also be nice to have premoves, alerting if the move becomes illegal. Lichess keyboard system is quite good and should be a good reference.

This extension is an absolute must. I actually switched away from Google and Bing entirely solely because of targetText

I wonder if you can add it on 4 player chess too!

This extension is a complete lifesaver! Finally the contemptible, useless highlighting within the email body is gone.
