How does it work?

Extension use manifest.json settings which change your main search engine.

Example:

(Default settings)

{
  "chrome_settings_overrides": {
    "search_provider": {
      "search_url": "https://example.com/search?q={searchTerms}"
    }
  }
}

(With addon)

{
  "chrome_settings_overrides": {
    "search_provider": {
      "search_url": "https://searx.be/search?q={searchTerms}"
    }
  }
}

It means that your browser starts to use second link when you make search request.

Tricks

If you want use SearXNG as support to main search engine do this:

• add this addon into your browser
• agree when browser shows you "Add this extension?"
• disagree when browser shows "Do you want change your main search engine?"
• use keywords like @searxng, @searx, @sx if you want use SearXNG when you make request
