Is Search Privately safe?
Search Privately redirects Google and Bing search result pages to searchprivatelynow.com with the search query.
Search Privately enables a browser rule that redirects Google and Bing search pages to Search Privately's search page. The redirected URL includes the original search terms as the q parameter, so searchprivatelynow.com receives the query when the redirect runs.
