This is a project that was inspired by DuckDuckGo's Bang Feature. If you want the experience of this extension, but at the same time a private search history, I'd recommend to use DuckDuckGo as your primary search engine. (By the way, if you are an Employee at DuckDuckGo and disagree with this open-source project, please let me know)

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Bang requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Bang may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
