How to Install or Set Up Shopingia.com as a Bookmark or Default Search Engine

Install the Shopingia App on your mobile device for quick access to searches and instant answers from an icon. This link only works in Chrome and Edge browsers, both on Android mobiles and desktop PCs. Also on some versions of the Samsung Internet browser for Android. Other options below.

When it comes to quickly accessing reliable resources and useful tools for daily information searches, it can be practical to set an alternative search engine as your default. This is the case with Shopingia.com, a general-purpose search engine designed to deliver direct results, free from the ideological biases of ALL major search engines (which promote the 169 targets of the 2030 Agenda or other international agendas), without superfluous elements and with a particularly clear interface. The only interests taken into account in each search are those of the user, never those of governments, companies or their alliances. Furthermore, Shopingia does NOT create user profiles, as it has no way of identifying users since there is no registration option.

Below are the steps to add Shopingia.com to your browser bookmarks or even configure it as your default search engine, depending on the system or device you use, whether mobile or PC. Instructions are also included to prevent AI applications from generating broken or invented links. We recommend installing the Opera browser for its quality and ease of configuring search engines (except on Apple devices, where this is not permitted).

Why Should You Care About Broken Links and Hallucinations in AI Applications?

  2. Click the star to the right of the address bar.
  3. Select the “Bookmarks” folder or the bookmarks bar for a more visible location.
  4. Confirm by clicking “Done”.

In Mozilla Firefox:

  1. Visit https://shopingia.com
  2. Click the star in the address bar.
  3. Edit the name if desired and select the location. Save.

In Microsoft Edge:

  1. Visit Shopingia.com in your browser.
  2. Click the star icon with the "+" symbol, then click “Add to favourites”.
  3. Save to your preferred location (bar, folder, etc.).

In Safari (macOS):

  1. Go to the search engine’s home page.
  2. Press the “Share” icon and select “Add Bookmark”.
  3. Choose a clear location such as the favourites bar.

Set Shopingia.com as Your Default Search Engine

This process allows you to search directly from the address bar with ease. The procedure varies slightly depending on the browser:

In Google Chrome:

  1. Go to Settings > Search engine > Manage search engines.
  2. Click “Add” and enter the following details:
  3. Save and set as default.

In Mozilla Firefox:

  2. Right-click on the address bar and select “Add Shopingia”.
  3. Go to Preferences > Search and set it as default.

In Microsoft Edge:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy, search and services > Address bar and search.
  2. Click “Manage search engines”.
  3. Add Shopingia and select it as default.

In Opera:

  1. Go to Settings > Search > Manage search engines.
  2. Add the engine with Shopingia’s URL and set it as the main one.

Apple Devices: Alternative Use

iOS devices do not allow customising search engines directly in Safari. However, you can pin a tab with Shopingia in browsers such as Firefox, Brave or Opera. Another option is to create a shortcut to the home screen using the browser’s share function with “Add to Home Screen”.

Practical Recommendation

If you wish, you can keep a pinned tab open with buscador.shopingia.com in a secondary browser and use it exclusively for your regular searches. This method offers convenient access, especially on devices where custom search engines cannot be set.

This way, you will have an effective, accessible and fast alternative without depending on conventional search engines.

Why Should You Care About Broken Links and Hallucinations in AI Applications?

Conversational artificial intelligence applications such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and YouChat have revolutionised information search and content generation. But a significant and frequent problem is that these AIs, although they produce fluent and coherent text, can invent false or broken web links, a phenomenon known as “hallucinations”.

This problem not only generates frustration for the user, but can also affect trust in the information provided. AIs work by predicting the next most likely word based on context, without verifying accuracy in real time, so they may offer URLs that appear correct but do not actually exist.

It is therefore essential that applications are configured to use reliable search engines to build their links, and this is where Shopingia.com comes in — a private, independent and reliable search engine that ensures all links are real and functional.

To help you configure your AI applications and avoid these broken link problems, we recommend reading our two complete articles, available in Spanish and English:

These articles contain detailed step-by-step guides for configuring the main AI platforms to ensure that generated links are always valid, functional and private using Shopingia as an intermediary.
