smartwebfinder.com 로 강제로바꿈. 이제 딴거찾아야지

l l2022年6月26日

Used to be great but now has a virus and tracks everything you search and changes search engine dont download its a virus

Swastik2022年6月26日

Used to be my favourite. Now it opens up some info stealing virus web page after the new update. Also forces us to use some smartwebfinder trash.

Blender Bach2022年6月25日

This extension used to be amazing! It has now become a virus. It forcefully changes your default search engine and does whatever the heck it thinks you need. Get rid of it, before it takes over your computer!

Joseph Kan2022年6月25日

Solution: Modify manifest.json and remove: "chrome_settings_overrides": { "search_provider": { "name": "Smart", "keyword": "Smart", "search_url": "https://smartwebfinder.com/?n=50&q={searchTerms}", "favicon_url": "https://smartwebfinder.com/favicon.ico", "encoding": "UTF-8", "is_default": true } }, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16680682/how-to-modify-an-extension-from-the-chrome-web-store#:~:text=%20Getting%20the%20source%20and%20modifying%20it%20,I%20had%20quickly%20identified%20that%20you...%20More%20

It was best free VPN until it changed my search engine forcely , it's time to unistall )-: any alternative???

Tushar Gaur2022年6月25日

I live in China(one of the most censored state) from some time and this was the best free service available but this recent change forcing to switch the search engine have made me look for alternatives. Very disappointed to see such a service loose its core principle of giving users freedom to choose

AI product read

Lightweight VPN/proxy extension that encrypts browser traffic and routes it through UltraSurf's proxy network with one-click activation

Enables users on censored or restricted networks (governments, workplaces, campuses) to access the open internet, protects privacy on public Wi-Fi by encrypting traffic and hiding IP addresses, and optionally blocks phishing/malware URLs

User installs extension → acknowledges one-time disclosure → toggles VPN on → extension configures Chrome proxy settings via PAC script to route traffic through UltraSurf proxy servers → optionally checks visited URLs against safe.ultrasurfing.com for threat detection → shows warning page for blocked sites.

Target users: Users in censored regions seeking open internet access / Users on restricted networks (workplaces, campuses) / Privacy-conscious users wanting encrypted browsing on public Wi-Fi / General users wanting lightweight browser-level VPN protection

VERIFY_BASE_URL points to http://10.11.0.2:7000 (private IP), likely a test/development endpoint — actual verification may route elsewhere in production
Cannot fully verify whether the proxy servers in PROXY_HOSTS_A/B are active or require any server-side authentication
The ultrasurfing.com landing page opened on status 205 could contain promotional content not visible from source analysis

Monetization

No paid features detected

No payment code, no premium tiers, no subscription flows, no billing APIs found in any source file. The 'pro' keyword matches are all false positives from proxy-related host names (PROXY_HOSTS_A, PROXY_HOSTS_B) and generic words like 'protected', 'proxy'. All features (VPN, safe browsing) are available to every user without gating. The extension appears completely free.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No login UI or authentication flow exists anywhere in the extension. The userId references (safeBrowsingUserId) are auto-generated UUIDs created locally by crypto.randomUUID() in storage.js:12-30, not user-provided credentials. The extension works immediately after a one-time disclosure acknowledgment — no account creation, no email/password, no OAuth.
