Blink Search: A Simple Tool for Redirecting Links to Google Searches

Blink Search is a Chrome add-on developed by sibdo that allows users to temporarily redirect all the links on a webpage to Google searches. This simple tool aims to eliminate dead ends and transform every website into a potential launch pad for more interesting content. Whether you're browsing news, shopping, or planning your next travel adventure, Blink Search ensures that you can easily explore related topics and information.

Once installed, all you need to do is click on the Blink icon to activate the redirection feature. By doing so, every link on the page will be temporarily changed to a Google search link. You can then click on these links to further explore the search results and discover new insights.

Blink Search also addresses the issue of covert URL interception by certain websites, which may use your click data for targeted advertising without your consent. If Blink Search doesn't redirect to a Google search, it's likely that the website is engaging in such practices. In this case, simply right-click on the link and choose "Open link in new tab" to bypass the interception.

With Blink Search, users can flush out fake news, compare deals, read product reviews, and identify websites that mask URLs. It's a versatile tool that encourages exploration and provides an alternative perspective on the web.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
