AwayTab

Posted: September 16, 2019

AwayTab is a Google Chrome extension with questionable functionality. Users can get it from the extension’s official website at AwayTab.com, or the Chrome Store page of the add-on. However, we advise against installing the AwayTab software despite its claims to be helpful. Officially, the add-on is supposed to provide users with vacation suggestions whenever they open a new tab. In addition to this, the offer for the vacation spot will be accompanied by suggestions to book a hotel and purchase cheap plane tickets. One of the issues that this change causes is that it will hinder your Web browser’s performance by preventing you from accessing a useful new tab page.

Another thing to keep in mind if you plan to install the AwayTab extension is that its authors are not offering this service just for fun. The plane tickets and hotel bookings they offer are not chosen on a random basis – they promote affiliate links. This means that AwayTab’s developers will gain a percentage of any of the offers brought through their affiliate link. While this is a rather common practice, it is not acceptable to promote affiliate links via such aggressive marketing techniques.

Overall, there are much better ways to plan a vacation, purchase plane tickets, and book a hotel – we would not advise you to use a random Chrome extension for this purpose. The recommendation is to take care of the AwayTab’s removal by navigating to Google Chrome’s extension manager.
