The HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar is a browser extension compatible with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox. According to its publisher, Mindspark Interactive Network, the HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar is meant to help users edit and manage their photos by choosing from a variety of filters and effects that can be applied quickly without the use of external software. While this feature might seem useful at first, we'd like to inform you that the installation of the HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar requires you to authorize the extension to tamper with your Web browser's settings. While the changes that the HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar demands to make are not unsafe, some users are likely to find them annoying since the extension affects Web browsers in the following ways:
- Google Chrome will have its new tab page set to a MyWay.com search engine variant.
- Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox will have both their homepage and new tab page set to a MyWay.com search engine variant.
The MyWay.com search engine is reliable and delivers results with the assistance of the Yahoo Search so that it is undeniable that its users will get access to trustworthy search results. However, what is most important to the HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar is too boost the traffic that MyWay.com receives. We state this, because the services that the toolbar offers are not that special and, in fact, none of them are hosted by Mindspark. Instead, the toolbar simply refers users to 3rd-party online sites and services that host the photo-editing utilities.
If you don't want to use a browser add-on that forces you to use an alternative new tab page or homepage, then we advise you to consider the HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar's removal. You don't need to install 3rd-party browser add-ons like this one to edit your photos because there are countless free online services that can provide you with the same utilities. The removal of the HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar is a task that can be completed via your Web browser's settings, or with the use of a suitable PC security utility.
