Features & Capabilities

If you are here you probably know DuckDuckGo and think it is the greatest search engine (If you don't here is why).

However sometimes, of course due to the lack of trackers and stuff, DuckDuckGo search engine fails to deliver the correct result. That's what TryGoogle is for, it will add your DuckDuckGo search result page a "TryGoogle" link. Click on it and it will recreate your query using the google search engine.

Also, in order for your google search to be a little more private, TryGoogle will add noopener, nofollow and noreferrer attributes to the query. This will prevent google from knowing where you came from.

Is TryGoogle 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.

TryGoogle requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
Medium ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** **************

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.

TryGoogle has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
