Sexy Tube Mode is a web browser extension that offers users the ability to enhance their online video viewing experience. The application is capable of achieving this by modifying the client-side version of YouTube by making the background darker or by tampering with simple video settings that may slightly enhance the user's experience. However, despite Sexy Tube Mode's interesting features, security experts also note that the web browser extension may work as adware. As soon as Sexy Tube Mode is installed, its advertisements may invade your web browser. The advertisements displayed by Sexy Tube Mode might appear on any website you visit, so avoiding them is impossible. The only way to get rid of Sexy Tube Mode ads is to remove the extension that causes them, so it is up to users to decide whether they'd like to remove the extension or not.

Sexy Tube Mode may sometimes be installed without the user's knowledge because this adware may be propagated via software bundling. This technique is a popular method used by adware developers to reach a wider audience, so the fact that Sexy Tube Mode may use it isn't a surprise. If you notice Sexy Tube Mode ads in your web browser, and you don't recall installing the extension, then it probably arrived on your computer alongside a legitimate piece of freeware you recently installed. If you don't find Sexy Tube Mode's features important or if you simply can't cope with the ads it displays, you should proceed to remove the Sexy Tube Mode web browser extension at once.
