The new version enforces HTTPS connections whenever available, safeguarding data transmissions from interception on public networks. The extension operates without requiring user registration and is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. It also supports most Chrome extensions, ensuring broad accessibility for users seeking privacy without compromising functionality.
A recent study found users often perceive AI models and search outputs as politically biased — particularly left-leaning — showing a gap between actual algorithm performance and public perception shaped by political identity. This suggests the importance of tools that reduce perceived and real biases in information consumption, according to a 2025 Stanford Report.
To address this, the extension works with TUSK's search engine, which features Right, Center, and Left filter buttons that allow users to view search results from diverse perspectives. Users can customize their news feeds and select preferred outlets.
"We built TUSK to defend free speech on the web," said Jeff Bermant, Founder and CEO of TUSK. "This extension empowers Americans to browse privately and access information without censorship or tracking."
The extension also displays the specific trackers embedded within each website, helping users make informed choices about their digital footprint. It integrates smoothly with TUSK's password manager and bookmark tools for a consistent browsing experience.
