Is SearchLock+ : Private Search safe?
SearchLock+ fetches rule sets from searchlock.com every 12 hours and installs them as network redirect and header rules on all sites.
The extension sets searchlock.com as the default search provider and downloads a list of declarativeNetRequest rules from its own server. It installs them without validation, so they can redirect, block or modify headers on any site. A default rule adds affiliate parameters to searchlock.com search URLs, and an install alias and date are sent to the vendor.
