Get insights into websites you search for - from fake news, political bias, and downright to malicious content. When going to your favorite news or content publication sites, click the extension icon to check the Trust Radar. See the political affiliation and trustworthiness of the site. When searching for sites that have a very low trustworthiness score or have been deemed malicious by SecuyBrowse's engine you will receive a notification or a block page (that you may of course, always, skip). Try going to your favorite publication or for example search for "NewsPunch" (a low-trust source) to see Website Orientations in action! This extension switches the default search settings to our search engine, powered by Yahoo, in order to allow for the converter functionality. For any questions head to [email protected]

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

A little strange that all the BAD reviews have 5 stars don't you think. I think that's enough warning for me to stay away. I'm rating 1 star, let's see how it's displayed over time.
