Features & Capabilities

OneSearch is a Firefox add-on that prioritizes user privacy. Developed by Yahoo, it ensures secure search with its encrypted search terms feature. It doesn't use cookies, save your search terms or location, and refrains from user tracking or ad targeting. What this add-on offers is a straightforward search result without filtering based on your habits or data. In addition, links shared from search results naturally expire within an hour, and users have the option to filter out NSFW results through the SafeSearch feature.

Recent reviews
Search images flooded with Pinterest links with no way to block them, which sucks for a search engine that claims it looks after your privacy, especially as many look upon Pinterest as trash/spam. Started to tell be that certain locations aren’t supported, which makes it useless if using a VPN, again pointless for a privacy search engine. A number of Firefox add-ons that help with your privacy that you may prefer to use, simply don’t work. Tried it, didn’t like it, gone back to the Duck. Three stars, as it works, but for me it’s limited. Just to add, any search engine that blocks Pinterest out of the box I’d give ten stars. Any browser that blocked Pinterest I’d give a hundred stars.

Is OneSearch 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.

OneSearch 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.

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