The Aurora Browser is developed by the Aurora Network Company Limited to be a rival of the Google Chrome Internet client. The Aurora Browser is a custom build of the open source Chromium project that is favored by Google Inc. and is supported by a large community of developers worldwide. Computer experts that compared the Aurora Browser add Google Chrome note that there are several diferences that include a large start button in the top left corner, limited support for color themes and search bar similar to the one in Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Additionally, the Aurora Browser comes pre-packed with several extensions that are turned on by default and include a screenshot utility, a tool for downloading videos from YouTube, Adblock Plus and a shopping enhancer. The Aurora Browser may land on your computer as an optional offer in a free software installer and become your default Internet client that is likely to import all of your bookmarks from other browsers present on your PC.
Computer experts classify the Aurora Browser as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because it may urge users to set it as their default Internet browser and favor ad networks that may have a bad reputation. As stated before, the Aurora Browser comes equipped with a shopping extension called Shopping Helper that is perceived as a bad toolbar. The behavior of the Aurora Browser is sharing many similarities with the behavior of the Hyper Browser and the Webveil Browser, and users may experience redirects to sponsored content and pop-up windows that offer discounts and vouchers for Amazon and Best Buy. Also, the Aurora Browser may not render 1080p videos on video sharing platforms like Vimeo properly. Web surfers are likely to be disappointed with the Aurora Browser because it does not support extensions other than those it comes packed with. You may want to remove all files of the Aurora Browser with the assistance of a credible anti-spyware instrument.
