Your search. Your business.

Features & Capabilities

Swisscows Private Search is a privacy-first Chrome extension that never saves personal data. Queries are anonymized after 7 days, and the service runs on own Swiss-based servers to protect your privacy while you search.

Its semantic map provides an interactive, faster search experience, backed by over 20 years of information-analysis research. With Swisscows, your topics, IPs and personal information are not stored or used for profiling.

User Reviews

User reviews praise Swisscows for privacy and simplicity, and for quick-search use. However, reliability problems, intrusive ads, missing core browsing features (bookmarks, multi-tab, find), and concerns about censorship/bias and inconsistent family-filter behavior dominate negative feedback.

Pros

Privacy-first design with anti-tracking and private browsing.
Simple, straightforward, fast interface ideal for quick searches.
Privacy-friendly features such as VPN compatibility and private email.

Cons

Ads and autoplay video cause full-screen interruptions and distractions.
Lacks essential browser features (no bookmarks, no multi-tab or new window support, no in-app find, no zoom/resize, and difficulty setting as the default browser).
Reliability issues: sites often fail to load, videos may not play, and overall performance is inconsistent.
Perceived censorship or bias in search results and inconsistent family-friendly filtering.
