Safestwaytosearch.com Redirect

What is search.safestwaytosearch.com?

search.safestwaytosearch.com is another fake search engine that supposedly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results, and delivering the latest worldwide news and local weather forecasts. Judging on appearance alone, search.safestwaytosearch.com barely differs from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other legitimate search engines.

In fact, developers promote search.safestwaytosearch.com using a browser-hijacking app called Safest Way To Search, which supposedly protects your privacy when browsing the Internet. Furthermore, search.safestwaytosearch.com and Safest Way To Search record information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
