Since the application may view your browsing history, it is possible that it could display targeted ads as well, although we cannot know this for sure. ...

This tool is supposed to do that by enabling “private search”, offering “adult content” controls, and also disabling “Tracking & Profiling.” The tool claims that normal search engines track users and their searchers and that it can enable safety filters that, supposedly, can help you browse the web without facing security and privacy issues. If only that were the case. The reality is that if you install the extension, it can track you, and it might even expose you to push notifications and advertisements. ...
