Install the Extension

You can find our extension in Google’s Chrome Web Store. Click on the “Add to Chrome” button and the extension will be added to your Chrome Browser.

Detect Privacy Query

Type a search query in your Chrome browser’s address bar. Once our AI detects your search query to contain privacy-related terms, it will send a quick link.

Search Privately

Click on the quick link and continue to search for the same term in a private search engine.

How it Works

For example, you would like to look for information related to your bank account. When you type the term “my bank...” into the address bar, a few autocomplete suggestions will be displayed. Along these autocomplete suggestions, there will be a quick link that will lead you to search the terms in a private search engine.

Search with Private Search Engine

In this extension, we support three private search engines: MyPrivateSearch, DuckDuckGo, and Startpage. When the extension has been added to your browser, MyPrivateSearch will be the default search engine. You can make the change to select the other options from the extension’s Settings.
