Permissions used and reasons:

  1. Access to “cookies” (optional). We require this permission to customize and modify your search engine as well as to keep autocomplete default suggestions. It’s optional because if you don’t allow permission to use cookies, we will not need it. Once after you grant permission to use cookies, you can always revoke it at any time.
  2. Change your default search engine to our private domain search.searchsafe.tech powered by Yahoo. We require this permission to use our domain as a placeholder and to provide you the functionality in the autocomplete suggestions of your address bar. Inside this extension, we support Yahoo, Google, and Bing. You can switch to a different provider at any time inside the Settings section.

When you look for different types of information online, you may need different types of tools, such as switching on the SafeSearch filter to prevent you from being exposed to adult content, turning on the Incognito mode, selecting a private search engine to protect your privacy and personal details, or open a new tab or new window. Our extension provides you with a much easier and faster way to access these special search tools by allowing you to use quick commands from your address bar.

How to use it?

  1. Type your query in the address bar.
  2. Add a comma (,) after the query.
  3. The commands menu is activated in the autocomplete suggestions of your address bar.
  4. Click on one of the five options (Safe, Private, Incognito, New Tab, and New Window) and enjoy the tool!
