Searching via URL strings (as done by this tool) provides a security advantage over visiting search engine websites directly.
How it works: When you visit a search engine directly, the page may execute PHP or JavaScript that can collect additional information about you beyond your search query. By using search strings (like those generated by this tool), you bypass the search engine's landing page, reducing exposure to potential tracking scripts and malicious code injections.
Key benefits:
Reduces fingerprinting opportunities
Avoids third-party cookies from search landing pages
Minimizes exposure to malicious scripts
Maintains privacy between your browser and search providers
Note: This doesn't eliminate all tracking - always review each search engine's privacy practices.
