Get help with NoTok - The TikTokless Search Scrubber
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free vs premium model work?
NoTok is free forever for Bing searches. For a one-time payment of $1.99, you unlock filtering on all 10 supported search engines including Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and more. There are no subscriptions or recurring fees - pay once, use forever.
Does NoTok slow down my browsing?
No! NoTok has minimal performance impact and works instantly. The extension simply appends "-tiktok" to your search queries, which happens in milliseconds. Your browser's speed remains unaffected.
Can I turn it off temporarily?
Yes! You have complete control through the extension popup:
• Use the master toggle to disable NoTok completely
• Disable individual search engines while keeping others active
• Changes take effect immediately without needing to refresh
What if I actually want TikTok results sometimes?
You have several options:
• Toggle off the extension for that specific search engine
• Manually remove "-tiktok" from your search query in the search box
• Use the master toggle to temporarily disable NoTok entirely
Is my search data private?
Absolutely! NoTok works entirely on your device:
• No data is ever transmitted to our servers
• We only track search counts locally for your statistics
• No personal information is collected or stored
• All processing happens in your browser
Why charge for premium engines? PREMIUM
The one-time $1.99 fee helps support ongoing development and ensures NoTok remains ad-free and privacy-focused. Bing remains free so everyone can experience TikTok-free searching. Premium users get all 10 search engines and any future additions.
How do I upgrade to premium?
Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar and you'll see the "Upgrade to Premium" button. Payment is processed securely through ExtensionPay. After payment, all premium engines unlock instantly.
What search engines are supported?
Free: Bing
Premium: Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Baidu, Kagi, Brave Search, Ecosia, StartPage
All 10 engines are included with the one-time premium purchase.
How does NoTok work technically?
NoTok automatically modifies your search queries by appending -tiktok to them. This is a search operator that tells search engines to exclude results containing "tiktok". The modification happens instantly and invisibly as you search.
Can I use NoTok on mobile?
NoTok is currently available as a browser extension for desktop Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera). Mobile browser extension support is limited by the browsers themselves.
What do the search statistics show?
The statistics dashboard shows:
• Today's searches: Number of TikTok-free searches today
• All-time searches: Total searches since installing NoTok
These numbers are stored locally and never leave your device.
