Automatic monitoring of your browser

This protection component automatically monitors your browser's search engine setting to ensure it still matches your preferences. If any changes are detected, a warning is displayed so you keep control.

Clean, structured Interface You can control and finetune the whole application via one tidy interface.

Auto Check Currently supports Firefox and Chrome; more browsers to follow.

Fine tune the settings You can control how you want to get notified about potential problems.

Immediate alerts Once a change is detected, you can get notified via Windows 10's notification center and/or a classic MsgBox.
This software will only inform you. It cannot change the settings back for you, and this is also not a planned feature, because it's bad practice. You'll need to do this manually.

Resource Usage You can control the resource usage yourself and even decide to donate some free resources to further support this project. Learn more..

Detailled logging You can observe yourself, how SEO operates on your machine - just check the log. Only Hashes and GUIDs are compared; everything happens locally. SEO doesn't even know what a certain hash stands for, but once one of them changes, an alert can be triggered.
