## Description

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.
