Mixture Search

Posted: December 3, 2020

Mixture Search is a misleading browser add-on, which promises to provide its users with enhanced search features and better control over their online privacy. However, this add-on does not replace the user's new tab page and search engine with the URL mixturesearch.com. Because of this change, all of the user's searches will be redirected through this unknown website.

A visit to Mixturesearch.com reveals that it enables users to select the default search aggregator they would like to use – Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. However, before the users are taken to one of these search engines, they might experience a series of redirects, which also may contain advertisements. Overall, the Mixture Search extension installation may slow your searching experience and expose you to undesired advertisements.

Mixture Search is considered to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and users are advised to consider its removal. While Mixture Search is not harmful, it does not introduce valuable features, so removing it is the best way to proceed.
