SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar

Posted: September 3, 2018

The SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar is a browser add-on offered by Mindspark Interactive Network, a software developer that specializes in the development of browser-enhancing utilities and extensions. The purpose of the SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar is to provide users with quick access to a rich library of holiday recipes, which can be used to inspire them for their next cooking session or help them find some interesting recipes to try out. While this might sound useful, the service that the SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar offers comes with certain terms and conditions. For starters, the installation of the SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar is only possible if you authorize this add-on to apply a simple change to your Web browser's configuration. The change in question aims to set your new tab page to a MyWay.com powered search engine. While this alteration is not threatening, it may have a negative impact on your Web browsing experience, since the MyWay.com search page is likely to display different search results compared to reputable search aggregators such as Google, Bing and Yahoo.

While using this extension will not be a major issue, you might want to consider uninstalling it if you are not a fan of the changes it brought. Another good reason why this add-on might not be that useful is that its authors do not host any of the content and recipe libraries. Instead, they simply refer their users to 3rd-party websites and services, which specialize in storing and publishing recipes – all of the services in question can be accessed via a quick Web search, without the use of 3rd-party utilities like the SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar. If you are interested in this tool's removal, then we advise you to remove it either manually or with a suitable PC security tool.
