  🔍 PRIVATE SEARCH ONLINE — Search Without Leaving a Trace
  
  Private Search Online sets itself as your default search engine and automatically wipes your browser search history the moment you close the tab. No button to press. No manual clearing. It just disappears.
  
  Unlike Incognito mode, which only stops saving history going forward, this extension actively deletes the history that was created — removing your search queries and visited URLs from Chrome's history entirely.
  
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  ✅ WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  
  🧹 AUTO DELETE SEARCH HISTORY
  Your browser history is wiped automatically when you close a search tab. Every URL visited and every query typed is removed from Chrome history without you doing anything.
  
  🔍 PRIVATE SEARCH ENGINE
  Sets Private Search Online as your default search engine. Every address bar search routes through our privacy-focused search page — no separate app or website needed.
  
  🚫 NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED
  Open Chrome, search, close the tab. We never ask for your email, name, or any identifying information. Zero sign-up friction.
  
  📊 NO PROFILE WE BUILD
  Private Search Online does not build an advertising or behavioural profile of you. We hold no account data, no query logs, no user records.
  
  🔓 OPEN SOURCE
  Every line of the extension's code is publicly auditable. No hidden behaviour. Trust through transparency, not promises.
  
  🛡 PRIVACY/SAFE BADGE ON RESULTS
  On the results page, you will see a live privacy badge (🛡️ Safe), confirming that your local browsing session is actively protected.
  
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  ⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  
  1. Install the extension
  2. Search normally — from the address bar or the search page
  3. Close the tab when done
  4. Your browser history for that session is automatically deleted
  
  To turn history wipe on or off: right-click the extension icon → Options

  🔎 HONEST ABOUT WHAT WE CAN'T DO
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  
  We believe privacy tools should be transparent about their limits:
  
  - Search results are powered by Google's programmable search engine. Google processes your queries under their own privacy policy.
  - This extension wipes your LOCAL browser history. It does not affect what Google may log on their servers.
  - For IP-level anonymity, pair this extension with a VPN.
  
  If you want to clear what's stored on Google's side, visit myactivity.google.com.

  🔑 PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  
  - History — required to delete your search sessions on tab close
  - Tabs — required to detect when a search tab is closed
  - Storage — saves your on/off preference locally on your device
  
  No permissions are used for data collection. Everything runs locally.
