BrowserSafer Search Extension

The BrowserSafer Search Extension might bring a long list of changes to the way your Web browser operates but, unfortunately, a few users are likely to find these changes useful. Although BrowserSafer might be promoted as a useful tool to preserve your privacy while browsing and searching the Web, the truth is that the only noticeable thing this add-on brings is to replace the Chrome's default search engine, new tab and homepage. While these changes are not unsafe and do not redirect users to harmful pages, there is no doubt that such behavior should not be tolerated, when it is exhibited by an add-on with zero reputation especially.

The installation of the BrowserSafer Search Extension might seem a good idea at first because the add-on's description assures users that they will never need to worry about their online privacy again. However, users who opt to install it may find out that their new tab page has been set to Bing.com quickly, while their default homepage is Browsersfr.com, and the search engine is set to Search.browsersfr.com. All of these pages are legitimate, and they may, in fact, provide users with access to credible search features and other utilities. However, we are certain that most users would prefer to stay away from browser add-ons who force such changes upon them.

If you have installed the BrowserSafer Search Extension and you are not satisfied with the changes it brought, then you'll be glad to hear that recovering your browser back to its regular state is a rather straightforward process. The first step is to remove the add-on by using a suitable PC security scanner since these tools specialize in dealing with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) such as BrowserSafer. This should be enough to revert the changes this add-on brought automatically, but in some rare cases, users might need to restore their settings via Google Chrome's control panel manually.
