Extension summary

The PrivatizeMeSearch extension resets your new tab settings to PrivatizeMe.com, and provides instructions on how to reset your default search engine to PrivatizeMe.com. Adding this extension to your Chrome browser changes your new tab settings to PrivatizeMe.com and adds PrivatizeMe.com to the browser’s search engine list, so you may manually select PrivatizeMe as your default search engine. PrivatizeMe does NOT collect, store, sell or trade any of your search history information.

We strongly suggest users also install and use our PrivatizeMe private browsing extension. Adding PrivatizeMe private browsing extension will provide you with greater privacy protection e.g. when you click on a search result or ad and visit that site, PrivatizeMe private browsing functionality will keep your browsing private by eliminating storage of cookies and trackers inserted by the site and their third party partners.

User reviews

Anything I can do to keep my searches private is fine with me. Why do they need to know who I am anyway? Also installed the PrivatizeMe private browsing extension. Makes no sense to have one without the other.
