User reviews

This is a search hijack malware. It searches through upsearches.com, which redirects to Bing, presumably after adding an affiliate code. The developer, CodeFuel, is a shell subsidiary of Perion Network Ltd., an Israeli advertising company that signed a 4-year contract with Microsoft in 2020. If you find this extension or anything that references "upsearches" on your computer, remove it immediately.
