Where does Video-Browse come from?
As mentioned earlier, Video-Browse falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs. Such applications often travel with bundled software installers, unreliable advertising material, and redirects. Therefore, it is possible that this extension could be spread through such channels too, but we cannot be sure about it. The currently known places where the potentially unwanted program is offered for install are its official website named video-browse.com and the Chrome Web Store platform. This shows that users who want to avoid such software should be cautious even with software found on websites that are legitimate. Usually, we recommend finding out who developed your chosen tool, if it has any negative reviews, and other details alike to learn whether it is trustworthy or not.
How does Video-Browse work?
If a user agrees to install Video-Browse he should be asked to allow the extension to change his Google Chrome’s default search engine as well allow the add-on to view his browsing history. Provided a user agrees to such terms, the potentially unwanted program ought to make a website called feed.video-browse.com his default search engine. There are a couple of things that you ought to know about it.
First, this search web page might not gather results, but redirect you to a modified Yahoo search website that would provide the results instead. The second thing you should know is that the potentially unwanted program might be able to alter the results shown via a modified Yahoo search version. For instance, Video-Browse could place additional ads from its third-party partners that would not show up if a user was browsing via the original Yahoo search engine. Moreover, it is possible that the application’s presented ads could be targeted since it asks to view your browsing history, which might reveal what you could be interested in. Of course, we cannot know if it will happen for sure, but if you do not want to take any chances, you may want to get rid of this add-on.
