TheMovie-Hub.net Chrome Extension

Posted: December 11, 2017

The TheMovie-Hub.net Chrome Extension appears to be similar to MovieQuest, a browser add-on hosted by Movie-hub.info. This Chrome extension is meant to help users find interesting information about current and upcoming movie releases, as well as other interesting facts, trivia, and reviews, which might help them decide which movies are worth watching. However, the installation of the TheMovie-Hub.net Chrome Extension requires the users to authorize the add-on to replace their default search service with an alternative one.

When TheMovie-Hub.net Chrome Extension is installed, Google Chrome's default search aggregator will be replaced by Themovie-hub.net. Thankfully, this change is not unsafe, and users will continue to receive reliable results. This is owed to the fact that Themovie-hub.net delivers results by using the Yahoo Search. However, please keep in mind that having your searches redirected through a 3rd-party website may result in slower loading times, and also might lead to having your search queries used for marketing purposes. The recommendation is to avoid using dubious software like TheMovie-Hub.net Chrome Extension, especially when the information this add-on offers can be found for free via a quick Web search. Removing TheMovie-Hub.net Chrome Extension does not require you to use an anti-malware application, but using one can ensure that all of the add-on's components will be removed.
