Yeah, if you have downloaded this extension already, i suggest removing it, if you haven't and are questioning whether you should, DON'T!
Now I can't say for certain that this extension is the cause, but it's pretty strange how immediately after downloading it, my default browser continuously changes from "Google" to "Yahoo!" and every time I change it back to Google, it's not long before it's changed right back to Yahoo!.(If you're wondering, that means my laptop is infected with adware which is typically brought about from an extension and will be removed, hopefully, once you remove said extension). So I will definitely be removing this extension and seriously questioning HP.(Although some of you have said, "It's not HP, its Google" when answering other peoples concerns on the extension, let me ask you this, if its Google that is the problem here, then why would the extension change the default browser FROM Google to Yahoo!? That would be the dumbest marketing plan, but hey, I could be wrong there.¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
