Despite its name, the Joomborio Browser is not a stand-alone web client. The Joomborio Browser is a simple adware extension that may be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The creators of this ad-based application describe the Joomborio Browser as a new-age searching tool. According to their words, the Joomborio Browser should make it easier for you to find the information that you need. However, the true intentions of this program may not be to improve your searching experience. Instead, the Joomborio Browser may be used to redirect you to sponsored sites. This process brings referral commissions for the people behind this adware. Other similar Web extensions may change the user's homepage to an untrustworthy search provider. The Joomborio Browser doesn't behave like them. The Joomborio Browser may interfere with the results that PC users will encounter when they use legitimate search engines like Google and Bing.

Typically, the sponsored links that you see on a clean machine may be labeled adequately. However, those that are generated by the Joomborio Browser may lack any attributes. As a result, you may get transferred towards partner sites without suspecting. Since these affiliated pages may not correspond in the best possible way to your terms, they may not offer the information or software that you wish to find. You may start losing time while visiting irrelevant domains. An even more serious issue from a security point of view is that some of the promoted sites may be threatening. You may land on platforms that offer harmful software to the visitors accidentally. In some cases, these unsafe applications may seem to be normal Java or Adobe updates. As long as the Joomborio Browser extension remains, you can never be sure if the results of your searches are safe or not. A special security software can delete the Joomborio Browser permanently.
