A private way to search the web
Tempest is a free-to-use search engine that prioritizes your online safety and privacy. This handy tool allows you to perform searches without tracking your browsing history or online behavior. By doing so, you can ensure that your searches present accurate results that are not based on your personal preferences.
Compared to other search engines like Google, Tempest minimizes the need to use cookies or other personal information. All your searches remain encrypted so you won’t have to worry about third-party apps or ads tracking what you’re searching for and which links you decide to open.
How does it work?
As already mentioned, Tempest is a straightforward tool where you can search for anything under the sun — whether it’s the latest stories, recent sporting event results, or even a simple query regarding your everyday life. Much like other search engines, your results can lead to links, images, videos, maps, and news articles. You can also narrow your search by region and by date, as well.
Another notable feature of this search engine is the handy privacy report provided to you, which showcases any trackers, cookies, and other data-collecting tools found in any of the links you opened during your search. This gives you a better understanding of how many of the websites you visit keep an eye on your browsing activity and if you’re vulnerable to malware or not.
Users can also find quick infocards on weather forecasts, game results, and timezones with the help of this web app, so you can quickly view the information you need at a glance, so you don’t have to manually open each link to find the necessary information. Keep in mind, though, that you will need to turn on tracking for your approximate location for some of these searches.
The future of searching
With its focus on user privacy and protection, Tempest grants users the ability to access accurate search results without having to worry about their online activity affecting the results provided to them. Although you will have to grant special permissions for some location-based search results, it’s still overall an ideal tool that you can use to keep your personal information secure while browsing through your search results.
