Features & Capabilities

Engine Switcher is a privacy-focused Chrome extension that enables users to switch search results between multiple popular search engines like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, StartPage, Bing, Google, and others with a single click or keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+N). Designed to enhance convenience, especially on mobile devices, it eliminates the need to manually type search modifiers (e.g., !b, !g) in DuckDuckGo. The extension respects user privacy, requests only necessary permissions, and is fully open-source with its code available on GitHub.

Supporting a wide variety of search engines including Brave, Gibiru, MetaGer, You.com, Yahoo variants, Yandex, Wikipedia, and more, users can customize the order or remove engines as preferred. Engine Switcher also supports Firefox for Android Nightly, making it accessible for mobile users seeking an efficient search experience. Its simple interface and focus on privacy make it an essential tool for anyone wishing to quickly toggle between search engines without sacrificing control or usability.

Is Engine Switcher Safe?

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.

Engine Switcher requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Engine Switcher has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
