Weather Waves

Posted: March 23, 2020

Weather Waves is a browser extension that may promise to provide you with up-to-date weather information and forecast for your current location, as well as for any city or area you choose to check out. However, Weather Waves is certainly not a weather add-on that you should install on your computer due to the changes it may apply to your Web browser. While other add-ons of this sort tend to introduce a non-intrusive weather widget that contains relevant information, Weather Waves will provide you with data by forcing you to use an alternative new tab page.

The Weather Waves's behavior is not malevolent, but it might worsen your Web browsing experience by making you use a new tab page that you are not used to. The new tab hosts a search engine that is accompanied by weather information, which can be found on top of the page. The search engine is very unlikely to offer any useful or special features, so we would advise you not to use it.

Weather Waves is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and you can remove it either manually or with the help of a suitable PC security product.
