Is Encyclosphere safe?
Encyclosphere sends your Google and DuckDuckGo search queries to encyclosearch.org to fetch results.
On Google and DuckDuckGo search pages, the extension reads the search term from the page URL and sends it to encyclosearch.org to retrieve Encyclosphere results. These results are then shown on the search page. This is gated by the user's settings for engines and result display.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Encyclosphere contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
