Is Surfer Search safe?

Low risk

Surfer Search makes oasrchrdr.com the default search provider and sends omnibox searches there.

Surfer Search configures Chrome's default search URL so omnibox searches are sent to oasrchrdr.com with a fixed campaign identifier. When searches redirect, it also posts usage events to webinline-usage.streamesh.net that include browser and OS details, extension identifiers, stored GID/ISID values, and search counters/timestamps.
