Features & Capabilities

Want to search using Google Search? But still want search suggestions but does not want to use Google directly? Well, this add-on does that. It utilizes Google for the search queries while it utilizes the PRIV.AU instance of SearXNG for the SearchSuggestion API.

What it does: It adds a search engine named "Google Search + SearXNG AutoCompleter" which sets a plain Google URL with just your query, No Client=Firefox thingy. On the other hand, since Google does not allow its SearchSuggestions API to work without the Client Tracker, I decided to use the power of the Open Source Community for that - SearXNG, specifically its PRIV.AU public instance which uses Google but indirectly so you will not be tracked.

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.
