Discord Search

A better Disconnect Search browser extension.

Why not the official extension?

A quick look at the code showed some suspicious stuff; the extension phoning home with statistics, way too many unused permissions, and weird "adblock" dead code, just to name a few.

I also feel that privacy and security related code should be kept as readable and concise as possible, so I rewrote (almost) everything from scratch.

Differences from the original

• old version of jQuery -> newest version of Zepto.js
• bloated -> minimum permissions
• Firefox & Chrome -> Chrome only (help needed here too!)

Additional Features

• i18n support

The only supported languages right now are English and Japanese, so PRs are welcome.

• compatibility with IMEs

Pressing the enter key to confirm conversions will not trigger searches!

TODO

• publish to Chrome Web Store
• add comments + refactor for readability
• license
• add shortcut to open browser action

Stuff To Be Aware Of

• The "search from the address bar" option was extremely fragile and broke some of Google's other services (like Inbox search), so has been removed. Users who want to proxy searches through Disconnect Search should instead go to Chrome Settings and add a search engine with the URL string https://search.disconnect.me/searchTerms/search?query=%s&ses=dummy . Discord Search will automatically detect this and apply your search engine of choice.

• This extension is a work in progress, so do NOT trust this as a secure/private alternate to the original extension (yet). Expect breakages as well.

• As DuckDuckGo is a privacy oriented search engine, search queries go directly to them unlike other search engines which are proxied through Disconnect.

• While the author is not affiliated in any way with Disconnect, they are the ones who make private searches possible, so please support them!
