Search.chipopo.info

Search.chipopo.info is a search engine associated with Chipopo, a Web browser extension that offers users the ability to craft their very own new tab page by selecting a custom background, modifying the layout, and adding various bookmarks. While this functionality may seem useful, it is certainly not unique, and most Web browsers allow users to do this without the use of 3rd-party browser extensions. Furthermore, Chipopo users will have no other choice but to set 'Search.chipopo.info' as their default new tab page, therefore forcing them to use the search feature hosted there. Currently, attempting to visit Search.chipopo.info leads users to Google, but it is clear that the purpose of this sub-domain is to host the search page that will be set as the new tab page for users who opt to install Chipopo automatically.

The Chipopo software is identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which means that its installation is not harmful, nor will it expose the user to potentially dangerous content. However, the fact that Chipopo may force users to browse a certain new tab page is quite annoying, and it is more than enough to justify the removal of the extension. Users who wish to dispose of the Search.chipopo.info page, as well as the Chipopo extension, can approach the problem in two ways – either manually uninstalling the Chipopo extension, or running a suitable computer security software suite that will detect and remove the PUP.
