Searchi Incognito

The Searchi Incognito is a browser extension, which offers users the ability to search the Web without revealing their search queries and other information to marketing companies and advertising agencies. It is not a secret that popular search aggregators like Yahoo, Bing or Google might borrow this data to improve the quality of the ads that the users see, therefore helping them find more relevant content online. However, some users might not be happy with this, and they might be looking for a way to avoid having their information leaked to 3rd-parties. This is where tools like the Searchi Incognito are supposed to come in, but some users might not be happy with the set of features that the Searchi Incognito has to offer.

Users who opt to install this add-on may end up disappointed because it does not offer any unique features apart from the fact that it may modify their default new tab page and set it to Searchiincognito.com. The page does not appear to host any suspicious content, and users who stumble upon it will not see anything else than the search field found there. It seems like the Searchi Incognito takes advantage of the Google Search API to deliver results to users so that it is likely that the search results page will be legitimate. The URL that will be set as the default new tab page is Searchiincognito.com.

If you installed the Searchi Incognito either on purpose or not recently, and you don't want to continue using the new tab page it promotes, then we advise you to take the necessary steps to uninstall the extension and restore your Web browser's settings. Anti-malware software detects the Searchi Incognito as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) so that using a suitable cyber security application should prove enough to eliminate the intrusive browser add-on.
