AntiGravity Tab

Posted: May 29, 2017

The AntiGravity Tab is a browser extension that promises to provide users with an improved default new tab page that features many improvements compared to traditional search pages like Google, Yahoo and Bing. The search engine that the AntiGravity Tab promotes delivers results via Google, but its landing page includes more than the Google's plain search field. Users will see an animated background that can be customized with different effects and images. In addition to this, the site also features a collection of links to popular websites that can be found beneath the search field. Last but not least, the website that the AntiGravity Tab promotes also includes a weather widget that detects the user's location automatically, and provides them with the current weather conditions, as well as a forecast.

The AntiGravity Tab's publisher appears to be behind another browser extension that offers similar features – the 3Spiral Wave Tab. Anti-virus product vendors have categorized the AntiGravity Tab as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which means that this software is not harmful, and removing it is not mandatory. Although the AntiGravity Tab does not exhibit unsafe behavior, we advise our readers to think twice whether they'd like to use a browser add-on that only works if they allow it to modify their default new tab page. It is important to mention that the AntiGravity Tab's search engine is credible at the moment and it does not feature any ads or suspicious content. However, there's no guarantee if things will not change in the future.

If you are considering removing the AntiGravity Tab from your computer, then you should know that this task can be carried out via your browser's add-on manager manually. However, it is also possible to take care of the removal operation with the help of an anti-malware tool.
