Tube Enhancer is an ad-supported extension, which is compatible with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It offers various features that should supposedly make the watching of YouTube videos a more enjoyable process. According to the developers, Tube Enhancer should block the ads that you see before the videos start. Moreover, thanks to this adware you should be able to dim the lights for a cinematic effect. Another function is the automatic repeating of your favorite songs without constantly clicking on the repeat button. Tube Enhancer indeed achieves most of the promised features. The problem, however, is that the adware injects some rather aggressive pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads in your browsers. The initial versions of Tube Enhancer didn't rely so heavily on commercial materials, but the latest ones tend to annoy the clients. Virtually wherever you go, you may notice some vouchers, coupons, special offers and discounts. The advertised products are carefully chosen considering your latest searches and the overall surfing history. The problems from these new ads can be allocated into three categories. First, their mere existence on almost every site may cause irritation. Second, the multimedia elements may get in the way of the smooth performance of your web clients, resulting in occasional freezes or slower operating speed. The third potential issue is that some of the partner platforms may be compromised. For example, they may ask you to take part in surveys to obtain your email address for marketing purposes. You may also accidentally enter sites that promote highly suspicious or harmful software. It is recommendatory to delete Tube Enhancer to maintain the security of the system and the stability of the browsers.
