QuizFunWow Extension

Posted: May 30, 2018

The the QuizFunWow Extension is a product of Web Value Inc, a fairly unknown company, which appears to specialize in the development and distribution of browser-enhancing add-ons. QuizFunWow does not seem like an exception since this is a browser extension meant to provide users with new quizzes on a regular basis. The topic of the quizzes is likely to vary so that users might get access to both entertaining and serious quizzes, which concern a broad range of topics.

Everything for the QuizFunWow Extension would be fine if it weren't for the fact that this application can't be installed unless the users authorize it to modify their browser's settings. It appears that the QuizFunWow Extension is compatible with both Chrome and Firefox, and in both cases it demands to replace the Web browser's default new tab page. While this action is not unsafe, it is certainly quite annoying since it would force the users to rely on a page that might not fit their needs.

We assure you that there are plenty of free websites that offer fun quizzes for you, and you do not need to use an extension like QuizFunWow to gain access to such content. Users who have installed the QuizFunWow Extension and are not satisfied with the quality of the service are advised to remove the add-on as soon as possible to revert the changes it made. The removal can be carried out either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security tool.
