NOVARA

Privacy Center

You decide how NOVARA handles your search data.

These settings are tied to this browser’s privacy cookie — not a separate end-user account. Admin login stays separate.

Privacy overview

Current values loaded from your saved preferences.

Search privacy

Toggles and defaults that apply to searches from this browser.

Save search history

When on, non-private searches can be stored for this browser cookie so you can revisit them.

Default to Private Search

Private Search does not write search history or personalization signals for the query.

Personalization / interest signals

Off by default. When off, NOVARA avoids query-linked interest signals.

Allow privacy cookie / visitor preferences

Needed to remember these settings and optional history for this browser.

Automatic deletion of search history

Older history items for this browser are removed after the selected period.

SafeSearch default

Default filtering level for adult content in search results.

View, export, or delete search-related data for this browser cookie.

Search history

No saved history yet — or history is off / you search in Private mode.

Saved results

No saved results yet.

Deletes history, preferences, and bookmarks for this browser cookie. Does not delete admin accounts or passwords.

Quick Clear

One action to clear local NOVARA search history for this browser.

  • Clears: NOVARA search history stored for this browser cookie (and related session search state).
  • Does not clear: passwords, bookmarks, admin accounts, other websites’ data, or browser settings.
  • Does not wipe host access logs or data held by external providers outside this wipe.

Report a privacy incident

Tell us if something unexpected happened with your data or a result. Reviewed by operators — not an automated wipe.

NOVARA browser extension

Optional Chrome, Edge, or Safari extension for tracker blocking, cleaner links, and private search shortcuts.

  • Blocks common trackers via local rules (no remote executable code).
  • Strips tracking parameters from copied / opened links.
  • Quick private search launch into NOVARA.
  • Optional threat status via NOVARA’s server API (honest unavailable state if the API is down).

Chrome Web Store is not available yet. A download is a zip of the extension folder — not the NOVARA website, and not a one-click Install.

Chrome / Edge — Load unpacked

The zip will not install itself. Unpack it, then load the folder that contains manifest.json.

  1. Download the Chrome / Edge extension zip (contains only extension files).
  2. Unzip it. Confirm the folder has manifest.json at the top level (not index.php or a website tree).
  3. Open chrome://extensions or edge://extensions and enable Developer mode.
  4. Click Load unpacked and select that extracted folder (the one with manifest.json).
  5. Pin the NOVARA Privacy action icon.

Safari — Xcode only (not one-click)

Safari cannot install from a website zip. There is no “Load unpacked”. You need full Xcode (not only Command Line Tools), then Safari → Develop → Allow Unsigned Extensions (often again after each Safari restart).

  1. Download the Safari Web Extension source zip (extension files only — not the NOVARA website).
  2. With Xcode installed, convert/build via the project scripts, then Build & Run the generated macOS app wrapper.
  3. Safari → Develop → Allow Unsigned Extensions, then enable NOVARA Privacy under Settings → Extensions.
