The Social Extras software, also known as FBSkins, may attract the interest of progressive Facebook users that want to customize their news feed and how the social content is displayed in their browser. The Social Extras software has versions packed in CRX, XPI and EXE file formats to enable its functionality across many Internet browsers. FBSkins is supposed to allow Facebook users to apply skins to the layout of their favorite social media and create skins of their own via the Greasemonkey platform. Users can find pre-configured skins at Fbskins.com, but most of the skins may not be displayed correctly. You should know that the Social Extras software is created by Buzzbox Media LLC that is behind the My Search Dock adware. It should not be a surprise that security experts classify the FBSkins applications as adware too. The FBSkins adware is not digitally signed and may download a corrupted binary on your computer.
Additionally, the advertisers supporting the FBSkins adware may use it to display full-page marketing materials like posters and load video commercials on pop-up windows. The Social Extras adware may want to access your Facebook feed and post advertising content on your behalf that your friends may like or may unfriend you. The Social Extras adware may intrude on your privacy by using DOM storage data and tracking cookies as well as detect what pages you like on Facebook to load customized advertisements and welcome you to fill out surveys on your favorite trademarks. Security experts note that the FBSkins adware functions like Smiley Bar for Facebook and Facemoods and might hog up your system resources. Browsers that are affected by the Social Extras adware may not play videos and audio streams correctly. Facebook users are advised to avoid using third-party applications to modify their Facebook and remove the Social Extras adware with the help of a trusted anti-spyware tool.
