User reviews

Pretty sure this has a browser hijacker in it. After I downloaded it I started getting a white box in my google searches(I use dark mode and might not have noticed it if I didn't) that when I clicked on would take me to Bing results. I would also occasionally have my search results come up in Bing instead of Google. After I uninstalled it the box and redirects went away. I had to reinstall it for this review, which I think is kind of dumb.
