What is Secured Connection by SecuryBrowse?
"Secured Connection by SecuryBrowse" is a Chrome extension that offers enhanced search privacy and secures your browsing by routing your connection through a US-based server. It shields you from potential eavesdroppers and harmful MITM attacks. With a simple 'safe tunnel on' or 'safe tunnel off' command, you can activate or deactivate this secure browsing mode. Besides encryption, it also changes your default search to provide privacy-enhanced results through Yahoo.

Summary

Enhance your search privacy and security by funneling your connection via a secure server and coating your search and browsing with extra protection.

We may think modern technologies like SSL keep our browsing activity private, but the truth is that many actors can "eavesdrop" and even maliciously alter your connection. Such actors include but are not limited to:

  • Public WIFI providers
  • ISPs
  • Employer's IT infrastructure.
  • Malicious actors performing MITM attacks

To make sure you're preventing any "eavesdropping", type “safe tunnel on” in the browser search bar to tunnel your searching through SecuryBrowse's US-based secure server. Turn it off at any time by closing the browser window or typing “safe tunnel off“ in the browser tool bar.

Required permissions for the extension:

  • Read and change website data: used to proxy permissions to tunnel your traffic through the SecuryBrowse secure server.
  • Change default search to search.securybrowse.com with a Yahoo-based, privacy-enhanced results page.
