About Custom Sidebar

Custom Sidebar is a userscript that adds a customizable sidebar and horizontal toolbar to Google Search. It offers one-click search filters for language, country, time range, file type, site, and keyword location, along with saved filter presets and theme settings. It runs only on google.com and requires a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey. The script is distributed through Greasy Fork, and the author warns against a Chrome Web Store extension published under the same name, which the author describes as an unauthorized repackaged version.
