Stream On The web

Posted: April 12, 2018

The Stream On The Web is a browser add-on for Google Chrome, which promises to provide its users with convenient access to a broad range of streaming media – music, videos, sports events, movies, etc. However, users who opt to install the Stream On The Web might realize quickly that the content they are offered is not free and that it is not affiliated with the Stream On The Web in any way. All that this add-on does is to refer users to paid streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix and others. This is not useful particularly and, in addition to it, the Stream On The Web also might replace the Google Chrome's default search aggregator with Home.streamontheweb.com. While this change is not unsafe, it may diminish the quality of the search results the users see so that we do not recommend using Home.streamontheweb.com as a search engine.

Since the Stream On The Web does not offer valuable features and it may bring annoying changes to your Web browser's configuration, we advise the users not to install this extension. If you have already added the Stream On The Web and you are not satisfied with what it has to offer, then we suggest that you take the necessary measures to remove it from your PC and revert the changes it made. The swiftest and most convenient way to get rid of the Stream On The Web is to run an up-to-date PC security software suite since this can ensure the full removal of this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP).
