The extension might be perfectly useful, but I (like others) didn't install it. It creeps me out to now know that a foreign, uninvited extension can just be installed without my knowledge or consent?
Hello Tom, No extension can be installed without your knowledge or consent. All Chrome extensions have to be installed directly from Google's Chrome Web Store. On each extension's offer page, all the information about the extension is properly disclosed. Affirmative action of clicking on the "Add to Chrome" button is needed from the user.

First, I did not add this extension. Not sure how it came to be on my Chromebook. Second, I found it in my extension list because I noticed that my Chromebook wasn't using Google as a search engine even though Google was set to default on both my device and my browser. I went and looked through my extensions and saw this one. I disabled it and could search Google be default again. Reported it for abuse and am now deleting it.
Hello Morgan, I'm sorry that you didn't like this extension. Yahoo is our search monetization partner and provides contextual ads based on your search queries. The extension can be removed at any time. Best regards, Search Privately team

DO NOT INSTALL. THIS IS A VIRUS. When you search something on Google, it redirects to Yahoo. I looked into this and the ads that you see on Yahoo are scams. They lead to suspicious websites. Do not install.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the functionality. Yahoo is our search monetization and we disclose the change of default search engine in this extension's CWS page in a few places. We strongly recommend you read the basic information about the extensions before you install them. Best regards, Search Privately team
