Unfortunately, QuickLinks is not available for Chromium based browsers. This is due to the fact that Chromium based browsers apparently do not support the omnibox permission. This could be only a manifest v3 issue and not a manifest v2 issue, but with Chromium browsers moving to manifest v3 anyway, we will not be developing for Chromium browsers. Besides the fact that the manifest version update has caused a lot of issues, there are a lot of other issues with developing extensions for Chromium browsers that make the development process a lot more difficult. No hate to manifest v3, it has its uses, but Chromium sucks.
Below are the planned, upcoming updates for QuickLinks:
- Add and edit your own custom commands
- Update the UI to be more user friendly and cater to the new features
- Redirect incorrect commands to the default search engine as a search query
