StreamSiteSearch

Posted: October 22, 2020

StreamSiteSearch is a browser extension promising to grant you access to cool and free online streaming services, which may allow you to view movies, sports streams and other entertaining media. However, StreamSiteSearch does nothing of this sort, and users who install it will only notice two changes – their new tab page will be replaced by Portal.streamssitesearch.com, while the default search engine will be set to Feed.streamssitesearch.com. There is nothing harmful about these changes, but it is likely they will hinder your Web browsing by forcing you to use a website you are not used to.

Using StreamSiteSearch's Web pages is not harmful either. They are meant to work like basic search engines, but you should not forget that their results might not be of the highest quality. StreamSiteSearch is clearly intrusive and useless, so it is best to remove it from your browser. You can do this manually, but it would be better to resolve the issue with the help of a suitable PC security tool.
