This plugin supplements crowdqueries.com by displaying direct answers to you search queries.

We are looking for people to participate a research study about search queries and their answers. We have created a new way of using Google and Bing to search for answers. This research aims to analyze the way gamification elements, such as leaderboards and ratings, affect crowd-sourced tasks.

This plugin:

Provides direct answers to your queries
Let’s your rate the answers
Let’s you submit your own answers

crowdqueries.com:

Awards you points for participating
Shows you how others have rated your answers
Let’s you compare yourself to friends and other members

The benefits of participating may include:

Getting higher quality answers to your queries than Google or Bing can provide
Helping others get higher quality answers
Improve the overall experience of using a search engine

You are eligible to participate in this study if you are 18 years of age or older.

Contact information for questions about the study or to report a problem: If you have questions, concerns, or complaints: Christopher Zorn, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Central Florida (czorn@knights.ucf.edu) or Dr. Joseph J.

Extension safety

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.

crowdQueries requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

crowdQueries may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
