Safe Browsing is a Firefox extension designed to enhance your online privacy by ensuring every search is safe and private. It automatically detects when your searches are being tracked by popular search engines like Google and Bing and redirects you to MyPrivateSearch, a privacy-focused search engine.

By preventing tracking during your searches, Safe Browsing helps you maintain anonymity and avoid unwanted profiling online. It's a simple yet essential tool for users who value privacy and want to browse the internet without leaving tracking footprints. For more details, consult the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
