User reviews

Очень удобное расширение, всегда им пользуюсь

Евгений Лазуренко, 2024-07-13

При создании профиля пытается установиться сам по себе. Как минимум спам, возможно вирус.. Такое поведение расценивается как вредоносное ПО.

Роман, 2024-07-04

Устанавливается автоматически. Не удаётся вычистить из системы. Устанавливается при каждой установке браузера. Устанавливается в пакете вредоносного ПО от яндекса, из-за которого в браузере меняется стартовая страница, поисковая система, постоянно вылезает огромное окно с предложением установить яндекс браузер. Совет всем - сразу отключите, зайдите в диспетчер задач и остановите процесс yandex, потом поиском найдите все упоминания в папках и удалите файлы и папки.
