Mynetspeed.co

Posted: December 9, 2016

Mynetspeed.co is the name of a Web browser extension for the Google Chrome, and a website that promotes the software in question. According to the page, Mynetspeed.co offers users the ability to test their Internet speed directly from their Web browser quickly without having to search for 3rd-party services and websites. While this may seem like a useful tool to have at your disposal, you should think how often you need to check your Internet speed carefully. The reason for this is because an Internet Speed Check is not the only thing that the installation of the Mynetspeed.co extension will bring to your Web browser. Users who opt to install this program also will have their new tab page replaced with mynetspeed.co/homepage/homepage.html, a low-quality search engine linked to the Mynetspeed.co browser extension.

The good news is that while both the extension and search utility it promotes may not be the most useful, they are not unsafe in any way. Having any of them attached to your Web browser will not expose you to potentially dangerous content, and you will not have to worry about any major issues that the Mynetspeed.co extension and page may promote. However, this certainly does not mean that you should tolerate Mynetspeed.co's new tab page since it may not always provide you with the accurate search results that you see when using reputable search services like Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Another minus of the Mynetspeed.co extension is that it does not offer anything unique when it comes to testing your Internet speed. Instead, it simply prompts users to choose between one of the two available speed testing services and then redirects them to an external website. You can achieve the same thing by performing a quick Google Search, so it is safe to say that Mynetspeed.co is not one of the most valuable browser extensions you can have on your computer. If you are not satisfied with Mynetspeed.co's services, or you don't want to speed its custom search page anymore, then we suggest that you uninstall Mynetspeed.co either manually or by using a reputable anti-malware tool.
