Mxss.xyz

Posted: April 6, 2020

Mxss.xyz is a simple search engine that appears to rely on QIP to supply its visitors with search results. Everything about this page appears to be legitimate, but there is one major issue that has attracted the attention of antivirus vendors – it appears that many users had Mxss.xyz set as their Web browser's default new tab page even though they did not authorize this change. It is very likely that Mxss.xyz is being promoted with the use of dubious browser extensions whose installation asks users to accept to have their new tab page replaced – many people might not read the prompt properly, and they may end up accepting to have Mxss.xyz set as their browser's default new tab unknowingly.

Using Mxss.xyz should not be a major issue, but we would advise our readers to stick to using a trustworthy and reputable website as their default new tab. Mxss.xyz may contain a larger number of advertisements when compared to other popular search engines, and it is highly unlikely that the results it provides will be as credible as the ones supplied by Google, Bing or Yahoo.
