Powerfulsearch.net

Powerfulsearch.net is a search engine that is affiliated with a Web browser extension that goes by the name 'PowerfulSearch.' The add-on appears to have been taken down from the add-on repositories of popular browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, and this is likely to mean that many users have complained because of the PowerfulSearch's dubious behavior. Users who opt to use this browser extension may be promised that they'll get access to a state-of-the-art search tool that will allow them to find the most relevant content related to their searches. However, the truth is that all they'll get is that their default new tab page will be modified to Powerfulsearch.net, therefore forcing them to use this search page on a daily basis.

It's somewhat good news that Powerfulsearch.net's search works as expected, and it delivers results based on Google's Search API. However, users who use an ad-blocking tool may find out quickly that Powerfulsearch.net may not to display results to users with an ad-blocker enabled, therefore forcing them to disable this software. Once the ad-block is disabled, Powerfulsearch.net's visitors will start getting search results, but they also may see, in the end, a significant number of advertisements, which promote a wide variety of products, services and websites.

We highly doubt that users would enjoy using a browser extension that forces them to use a 3rd-party search engine as their new tab page. If you don't want to continue seeing Powerfulsearch.net, then you need to remove the 'PowerfulSearch' extension from your browser. This can be done via manual removal or by using an anti-virus program. Powerfulsearch.net is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) so that computer security software is likely to detect and remove it.
