My Net Speed

Posted: February 16, 2018

The My Net Speed is a browser add-on offered by Mynetspeed.link. Its installation might seem like a good choice for users who want to be able to check their Internet speed regularly with the click of a single button inside their Web browser. However, the usefulness of an add-on like the My Net Speed is questionable because there are numerous free Internet speed testing services, which can be used without the installation of 3rd-party software. Another reason why you might want to keep the My Net Speed away from your PC is the fact that its installation can only be finished if you permit the add-on to apply certain changes to the Google Chrome's settings. The good news is that these changes are not unsafe, but most users are guaranteed to find them annoying since their purpose is to set an alternative page as a default Chrome New Tab.

If you find the My Net Speed helpful, then you can keep on using this add-on knowing that it will not get you into trouble. However, as long as you use the My Net Speed, you also will need to use the new tab page, which this extension is meant to promote. However, if the My Net Speed is not the extension you wanted to install, and you are looking forward to removing it, then you should know that you can do this two ways – either uninstall the My Net Speed manually, or use a suitable PC security tool to dispose of this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP).
