The FunkySocialTab is an application that is promoted at Funkysocialtab.com as "the must-have New Tab for Social users." The FunkySocialTab app has versions for Google Chrome and Firefox, which are developed by Imali Media Ltd. and supported via advertisements on Search.funkysocialtabsearch.com. The FunkySocialTab extension works similarly to StartJoy and SocialNewPage that you may have seen promoted on ads at software deployment platforms. Internet surfers that spend most of their time at portals like Instagram, Twitter, Google+, Facebook, and Pinterest might be willing to install the FunkySocialTab. You need to consider the consequences, and you might want to know that the FunkySocialTab extension will not change your new tab settings only. The FunkySocialTab extension may alter your homepage and default search provider preferences as well. The FunkySocialTab app may change your start page to Funkysocialtabsearch.com, and you may be presented with promotional images and videos from sponsors of Imali Media Ltd. Additionally, the FunkySocialTab extension may change your primary search aggregator to Search.funkysocialtabsearch.com.

The FunkySocialTab app may use data like your bookmarks, IP address, software configuration and recent Internet history to help advertisers deliver customized ads on Search.funkysocialtabsearch.com. The FunkySocialTab extension may provide links to social media sites and online shops, but users may be redirected via transitional page advertisements. Experts note that some services by FunkySocialTab may require registration and include offers to buy a premium license. The FunkySocialTab extension may welcome users to allow partners to read information like pages they like and benefit from exclusive offers when searching on Search.funkysocialtabsearch.com for clothes and electronic devices. The FunkySocialTab app is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that users may not like because of the intrusive ads on Search.funkysocialtabsearch.com and the fact that FunkySocialTab will take over the Omnibox and the search bar. You can remove FunkySocialTab by going into your Extensions/Add-ons Manager and using a credible anti-spyware tool to delete residual data.
