Google Search Navigator

This is a simple Google Chrome extension that enhances the keyboard navigation in Google Search. Google used to provide an experimental keyboard navigation for search results, but it was often broken, and seems to have been removed as of 2017-07-31. In addition, I wanted to add new keyboard shortcuts and the existing ones to be more vim like (j/k for navigation).

Install from the Chrome Web Store
