Hide & Seek does this by blocking cookies with a Safari content blocker extension. ‘Hide & Seek has nothing to do with “blocking ads”. It is simply about maintaining your privacy and anonymity while using Google and Bing for web search. In my testing, it works like a charm.’ - John Gruber, Daring Fireball With both Google and Microsoft, if you’re logged into one service, you’re logged into all of them. For example, if you use Gmail on the browser, you become automatically logged in when you use Google search. This means that Google can (and does) associate your search query with your Google account. To counter this, you can use Hide & Seek to hide your identity in Google search, while still staying logged into Gmail. Hide & Seek supports hiding your identity in: • Google Web Search • Google Images search • Google Videos search • Bing web search • Bing images search • Bing videos search • Bing news Before using Hide & Seek, you’ll have to decide which Google and Bing services you’d like to use logged out. Then, configure Hide & Seek to hide your identity in those services. After that, you can search as usual and your searches will be performed as a logged out user. You can simultaneously use other Google or Microsoft services (like Gmail or Outlook) in other tabs as a logged in user. Some caveats: • When using Google Images search on the iPad, when Hide & Seek is hiding your identity for that search, to visit the origin website of the image, you might have to use the ‘Open in New Tab’ option rather than tapping on a result directly. • When you’d like to follow a Bing search result on an iPhone, when Hide & Seek is hiding your identity for that search, you might have to use the ‘Open in New Tab’ option rather than tapping on a result directly. ## Hide & Seek Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple111/v4/dd/76/94/dd769416-1488-5559-edbe-3cfced8097e2/mzl.ygmozvxw.png/640x960.png) ## Hide & Seek Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 2 (50%) - 4 stars: 1 (25%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 1 (25%) ## Hide & Seek Reviews in United States ### *---- "No longer works" Hide & Seek stopped working a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it’ll see an update sometime soon, but I’m not holding my breath; last update was nearly a year ago. -- Sollicitudin Dapibus, 2018-01-09 ### ****- "Amazing app, functional design" The app is great, and the design is pleasantly simplistic. I took off a star because: 1) In Google (and Bing) search results, you must "open in new tab" -- otherwise, you will be tracked. I don't see any reason why the anti-tracking stuff shouldn't be able to work on the same tab. 2) The app is very limited, only working for Google and Bing, and even then not blocking cookies like most conventional ad-blockers do. -- TheBen12, 2016-04-20 [View all Hide & Seek reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Hide & Seek Discovered Keywords - hide - seek - hiding - hide and - hid and seek ## Apps Similar to Hide & Seek - [Incognito — Private Browser](https://apptail.io/app/incognito-private-browser-fNt/united-states) - [WWF Panda Search](https://apptail.io/app/wwf-panda-search-XUt/united-states) - [万能浏览器-智能拦截网页广告, 快速上网的手机浏览器](https://apptail.io/app/app-qjG/united-states) - [2画面表示ブラウザ(2サイト同時閲覧) - TwookuL](https://apptail.io/app/22-twookul-fSsb/united-states) - [uBlacklist for Safari](https://apptail.io/app/ublacklist-for-safari-NFvc/united-states) - [Shiori Web Browser](https://apptail.io/app/shiori-web-browser-wtxc/united-states) - [Luxxle](https://apptail.io/app/luxxle-spBd/united-states) - [Private Browser: Web Browser](https://apptail.io/app/private-browser-web-browser-NlPl/united-states) - [Ple Browser - Secure Search](https://apptail.io/app/ple-browser-secure-search-sfln/united-states) - [Bump Search](https://apptail.io/app/bump-search-KHqp/united-states) ## Hide & Seek Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/australia) - [Bahrain](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/bahrain) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/brunei) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/brazil) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/switzerland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/chile) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/china) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/united-kingdom) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/israel) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/lebanon) - [Sri Lanka](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/sri-lanka) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/madagascar) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/north-macedonia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/nigeria) - [Nicaragua](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/nicaragua) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/new-zealand) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/russia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/singapore) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/turkey) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/taiwan) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/south-africa) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/hide-seek-better-privacy-for-your-web-searches-rjIf/armenia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
