Features & Capabilities

The udm14 Chrome extension enhances your Google search experience by automatically adding the udm=14 parameter to every query. This parameter prompts Google to provide a cleaner, more streamlined search results page by omitting extra content often inserted by AI processes. Ideal for users seeking simplicity and less clutter, udm14 simplifies setting this search engine as your default in Firefox.

This extension is especially useful for users who prefer a minimalist Google search interface. While it works seamlessly in Firefox on desktop, users on Firefox for Android will need to manually configure their search settings using the provided URLs. udm14 was created primarily for personal convenience but is shared openly for anyone looking to refine their search experience.

User Reviews

The add-on injects the udm=14 parameter into Google searches, helping reduce AI-driven noise and yield clearer results. It shows up as a separate, easy-to-switch search engine and offers a simple, no-frills UI. However, it can remove widgets like translation and calculator, and naming/discoverability can be confusing. Overall, it’s a lightweight, effective tool for cleaner Google searches for most users.

Pros

Adds udm=14 to Google search URL, as advertised.
Decontaminates searches by reducing AI-generated content and noise, yielding clearer results.
Implemented as a separate search engine for easy switching between Google and udm14.
No-frills, simple UI that’s easy to use.
Generally works well for most users.

Cons

Removes widgets and other UI elements (e.g., translation, calculator) due to AI filtering.
Branding/discoverability issues: inconsistent naming (about:addons vs Add-ons Manager) and difficulty finding the add-on in the store.

Presents itself as 'Google search engine with udm=14 preset' at about:addons. Knowing the mismatch between the extension's name here, and its name within Add-ons Manager, is useful when reviewing multiple extensions that have similar purposes. Presents itself as 'udm14' when selecting a search provider.

Is udm14 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.

udm14 requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Can change search providers, which could redirect searches to malicious sites, posing moderate risk.

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.

udm14 is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
