Is Bing Search Helper safe?
Bing Search Helper automates Bing searches and Microsoft Rewards clicks in extension-controlled tabs.
When started from the popup, the extension opens Bing tabs and submits bundled or generated search queries. It can also open Microsoft Rewards pages and click daily rewards cards or related Bing reward URLs after the search workflow completes.
