How to support the add-on?

Development, maintenance and operating this free service need some money, so „Trusted Links“ for several search engines (e.g. Google) are integrated. By emphasizing certain search results they offer additional value for users without changing the search results nor the link target at all.

For each click on this affiliate links every corresponding sales gets compensated by the merchant. The money helps to finance all recurring expenses to distribute this add-on free of charge. However, in order to use the add-on, it is not necessary to pay money, donate or enable emphasizing of links. You can easily en-/deactivate the preference with a single click.

If you decide to help (financially), please make sure to activate the „Trusted Links“ option by navigating to about:addons -> Preferences. Thank you in advance!
