Masksearch.com

Masksearch.com is a portal that is advertised as 'a privacy-enhanced search engine,' which works best when you install the MaskSearch extension to your browser. Masksearch.com and the MaskSearch extension are managed by FreshTab Technologies Ltd. that has no official page and presence on social media like Facebook and Twitter. FreshTab Technologies Ltd. claims that they do not collect data and offer Masksearch.com to users with the promise that there will be no tracking cookies. Additionally, the MaskSearch extension is designed to deliver search suggestions and recommendations on your new tab and search bar. Masksearch.com is presented to users via secure HTTPS connection by default, but the links displayed on Masksearch.com may be corrupted and are not filtered.

Computer users reported that they were redirected to Masksearch.com and did not install the MaskSearch extension by FreshTab Technologies Ltd. Evidently, the MaskSearch app rerouted users to Masksearch.com and changed the layout of the new tab page to include features from Masksearch.com. You may want to take into consideration that Masksearch.com may not offer results for images and videos. The functionality of Masksearch.com may be limited to text results, which cannot be sorted by user-submitted parameters such as time, relevance and origin. Compared to Google and DuckDuckGo, the Masksearch.com portal is unlikely to meet the expectations of many users. The suspicious appearance of the MaskSearch extension on computers suggests that its developers may be bundling their product with third-party software. Masksearch.com is not perceived as a legitimate service provider, and you may want to avoid the site. The MaskSearch extension might make unsolicited modifications to browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. If you experience problems with Masksearch.com, it is recommended that you scan your OS with a decent anti-spyware scanner and determine if there is a browser hijacker and a riskware running on the computer.
