The Chromesearch.today website hosts a simple search engine, which promises to keep the searches of all visitors private, therefore reducing the number of targeted ads that users might encounter while browsing the Web. In addition to this, Chromesearch.today appears to redirect all searches to Google.com so that current visitors are guaranteed to be provided with reliable search results, which have not been modified in any way. However, please keep in mind that Chromesearch.today is not directly affiliated with Google, and this website's reliability is certainly not guaranteed. Its owners may change the way it functions at any time, and they might begin to deliver misleading information, paid ads or sponsored search results – things that users would want to stay away from probably.

The Chromesearch.today page is associated with a dubious browser extension whose installation is likely to tamper with Google Chrome's default settings. The changes that the add-on in question might bring are not harmful, but some users might find them slightly annoying since the extension may set Chromesearch.today as the Chrome's default new tab page.

While neither Chromesearch.today nor the extension that promotes it are considered to be harmful, most users might choose to continue using their preferred browser configuration. If Chromesearch.today was set as your default Chrome New Tab unexpectedly, then we advise you to attempt to resolve the issue by running a reputable PC security tool that will help you identify and remove the browser add-on that brought Chromesearch.today to your browser.
