My Weather Radar

Posted: January 31, 2018

My Weather Radar is a browser add-on offered by Polarity Technologies LTD. Currently, this extension is only available on the Chrome Store, so other users are unlikely to come across offers to install it. What My Weather Radar offers is access to a convenient new tab page which provides the user with information regarding the current weather conditions as well as the forecast for the next few days. In addition to this, users of My Weather Radar should also be able to view the weather conditions in various parts of the world.

While this may sound useful at first, you should keep in mind that there are numerous free-to-use websites and services that can give you the same information without asking you to install dubious 3rd-party software. The installation of My Weather Radar wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact that the only way to get this add-on is installed is to authorize it to replace Google Chrome's new tab with an alternative page found at Search.hmweatherradar.co. This search page features a collection of links to popular websites, a weather widget, and a search field powered by Yahoo. Using it won't cause any trouble, but you should keep in mind that the equality of the search results might diminish if the owners opt to use an alternative search aggregator.

My Weather Radar, just like the majority of Polarity's products, is classified as a potentially unwanted program. Removing it is not mandatory, but it is the recommended course of action if you wish to revert the changes it made to the browser's configuration.
