Is SimpleSearch safe?

Clean risk

SimpleSearch makes simplesearch.co the default search provider and sends omnibox search terms there.

SimpleSearch changes Chrome's default search provider through its manifest. When you search from the address bar, Chrome sends the search terms to simplesearch.co with a fixed partner ID in the request URL.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed SimpleSearch 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.
