User Reviews

Simple Context Search is a lightweight, reliable Firefox add-on that leverages your existing search engines and presents them cleanly in the context menu. It offers strong value by syncing with your Firefox engines (no bloat, no permissions) and letting you hide or show engines by labels. However, it lacks built-in options to customize or add engines, and it doesn’t reflect Firefox’s enabled/disabled state for engines in the UI, making some adjustments require separate tools or manual work.

Pros

Uses existing Firefox search engines and keeps a single list, avoiding duplicates.
Lightweight and straightforward with no permissions or bloat.
Highly configurable visibility of engines via labels to hide or show only selected engines.
Reliable and does exactly what it promises.
Pairs well with the Add Custom Search Engine extension for extra capability.

Cons

No in-app options to customize or add engines; you must rely on Firefox settings.
Disabled Firefox engines still appear in the menu; not synced with your enable/disable state.
Cannot add or manage custom search engines directly within the add-on.
Cannot disable the search engine shortcuts in the context menu, which affects display.

Is Simple Context Search 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.

Simple Context Search does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Simple Context Search has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
