In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the "storage" permission, which allows it to save a small amount of data locally on your device, such as preferences or recent search terms. It does not ask for access to your browsing history, web page content, or open tabs. For a general-purpose search tool, requesting only storage is minimal and reasonable, as it provides basic functionality without exposing your browsing activity.
Search-related browser extensions typically need to be cautious about where they send your queries. Even when an extension has no sensitive permissions, a user should consider that the searches themselves may be routed through a third-party service, and the extension's privacy practices for handling those queries matter. The developer has declared that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, but these are unverified self-disclosures, not guarantees.
Our analysis gave this extension a strong Permissions & Access score of 100%, confirming it sticks to minimal, expected capabilities. The weakest area is Maintenance & Ownership, with a low score of 30%. This suggests limited transparency about the publisher or infrequent updates, which can be a concern for long-term reliability and security. A careful user should verify that the extension is actively maintained and from a trustworthy source before relying on it for daily searches.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

- Publisher Luiz
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
