User Reviews

Seems like a great idea for an additional search option other than google or yahoo. Definitely weary of google and how they track me.

Working great so far. Get the same search results as Google but don't have to sacrifice my privacy. It could use some more features like maps.

I just downloaded this and first impression so far is good. I like how easy it is to see how many tracking links are blocked and from what networks they come from. The search results are ok, similar to Google.

Is Sweet Private 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.

Sweet Private Search requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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.

Sweet Private Search has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
