This tool seams to be working as it should. More on that when I put a few more miles on it. My system did speed up by 15 to 20%

2019-01-17 A Google user ***SECURITY ALERT! I fully support and add my identical review of what "John Bucsek" said: A fancy browser hijacker. A motor control company (or so I though) "required" that this extension be downloaded before I went to their site. Okay, has 80+ thousand downloads and 4 stars so I'll give it a shot. Immediately Norton alerted me it was trying to send outbound traffic and additional alerts about malicious attempts on my computer. Whether this is meant to be a legit extension or not, the security features are awful and this extension should be REMOVED from the chrome web store and elsewhere until it is fixed or just thrown in the Recycling Bin never to be restored.

A fancy browser hijacker. If you install this, you will be using Yahoo search for all your searches. There is no option to switch back to your preferred browser other than disabling this extension. The worst part is the SecuryBrowse doesn't inform you of this when it is installed
