Weather Forecast Finder

Posted: May 21, 2018

The Weather Forecast Finder is a browser utility meant to help users find news about the local weather and the forecast for the upcoming days and weeks. While this is a certainly useful tool to have at your disposal, you should not forget that there are countless websites dedicated to providing you with weather news and alerts, and the majority of them will not ask you to install 3rd-party applications to access their content. They are a better choice compared to the Weather Forecast Finder not just because of this, but also because they will not bring undesired changes to your browser's settings to promote a 3rd-party website.

The installation of the Weather Forecast Finder, a Polarity Technologies product, can't be completed without giving this add-on permission to replace the Google Chrome's default new tab page with Search.hweatherforecastfinder.co. This change is not harmful, but some users are likely to find it annoying since this search engine is unknown to them, and it might not always provide results as credible as the ones offered by Google, Bing, Yahoo, or other credible search aggregators.

If you are happy with the Weather Forecast Finder's services, you are welcome to keep on using it since it does not pose a threat to your online safety. However, if you find it not that helpful, then it is advised to remove it and restore your browser's settings. The Weather Forecast Finder's removal can be completed either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security utility.
