Why should you delete Kwible Search?

Kwible Search is a browser plugin which is meant to help you search the web; however, it has been discovered that this particular tool cannot provide you reliable Internet search services. As research has disclosed once you type in the keyword representing your search queries and then hit the Search button you are exposed to advertisement-supported search results. It is notable that the search engine appears to be powered by Google, which partly justifies the questionable redirecting of Images, Maps, Videos, News and Shopping searches to google.com/search. You should not assume that this is normal because it is not. Why would you choose to use a search engine which redirects you to a completely different source?
