Loading Search.todaystopheadlines.co will take you to a simple search engine, which appears to be linked to a browser extension named 'Todays Top Headlines.' As the name of the add-on suggests, it is likely that the purpose of this software is to provide users with updates regarding the latest and hottest news headlines from around the world or selected regions. However, the installation of 'Todays Top Headlines' does not do this exactly and, instead, it only brings one major change to the Web browser – it replaces the default new tab page with Search.todaystopheadlines.co.

This change is not harmful, but some users might be disappointed with Search.todaystopheadlines.co because this page does not offer the features that popular search engines like Yahoo, Bing, and Google have. In addition to lacking some basic features, Search.todaystopheadlines.co also does not appear to offer any extra content, and it is likely that a few users would want to use either Search.todaystopheadlines.co or the 'Todays Top Headlines' extension.

We should also add that the publisher of 'Todays Top Headlines' is Polarity Technologies LTD., a software publisher, which name is linked to a large number of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and dubious extensions like Classifieds Easy and Track Packages Online. The removal of all of these potentially unwanted programs can be taken care of with the use of a credible security tool.
