AVG Web TuneUp extension is criticized for forcibly changing homepage and search engine to Yahoo, without option to customize or revert settings easily. Many users find this intrusive and disruptive to their usual browsing experience, leading to frustration and uninstalling. The extension also reportedly interrupts activities on Chrome and is linked with poor uninstall behavior and limited customer support. However, some appreciate its resource management features and integration with other AVG software.
Pros
- Helps manage Chrome's resource usage by putting browser to sleep when minimized.
- Integrates well with other AVG products, which some users appreciate.
- Has a purpose of improving web safety and performance, as per user intentions.
Cons
- Forces Yahoo as the default search engine and homepage without allowing changes.
- Takes control over browser homepage and search settings, which users find intrusive and hard to revert without uninstalling.
- Causes disruptions and interruptions in browsing activities such as email and streaming.
- Difficult to uninstall and has poor customer service, with some users describing it as virus-like behavior.
- Lacks customization options for Chrome users that are available in Firefox and Internet Explorer versions.
