Searchfast.ru

Searchfast.ru is a Russian website, which hosts a Google Chrome extension with the name 'SearchFast.' As the name suggests, this add-on is meant to improve the user's search experience by making it faster, as well as by exposing them to more relevant content. According to Searchfast.ru, the extension is used by over 2.5 million users, and users who trust this statement may end up thinking that Searchfast.ru, in fact, offers a trustworthy and convenient add-on. However, the official page of the extension in the Chrome Store reveals the truth – Search Fast is being used by about 35,000 people, and it is possible that many of them don't even recall installing this add-on.

When this application is installed, it may change the default search aggregator that Google Chrome uses. This means that whenever you use the address bar to initiate a Web search, your search query will be executed through a search engine that SearchFast promotes. The user's search queries will first be run through Searchfast.ru, and then Chrome will take them to a results page hosted on Go.mail.ru, a reputable and popular search engine in Russia.

It is obvious that SearchFast may not introduce any interesting features that can help improve the user's browsing experience, and it is recommended to remove SearchFast if you have installed it on your computer. The removal of Searchfast.ru and the extension that accompanies it is a task that can be handled either via manual removal or by using a suitable security tool.
