Change Google region + disable personalized web search + safe search off

Features & Capabilities

The Google NCR Chrome extension empowers users to customize their Google search experience by setting their preferred region manually, disabling personalized web search results, and turning off safe search. This is particularly useful for those behind proxy servers, where Google normally redirects users to a local version of the search engine, causing biased or localized results. With Google NCR, the default region is set to the US, but can easily be modified through settings.

Unlike the Google NCR page that relies on cookies and may not work well with certain browser configurations like Temporary Containers, this extension ensures consistent application of user preferences. It enhances user privacy by disabling personal search data and safe search filters, offering cleaner, more global search results. The extension's manifest file allows advanced users to tweak country-specific settings, making it ideal for multi-lingual and multi-cultural users seeking true, unbiased search results.

Is Google NCR 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.

Google NCR requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

Google NCR has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
