Better Tab

The Better Tab software (a.k.a. TheBetter Tab) by BeeStripe LLC is promoted at thebettertab.com as a Web-based service aimed at simplifying your digital life. Web surfers that visit thebettertab.com are suggested to allow Better Tab access all their data on the pages they load in Google Chrome and set thebettertab.com as their homepage and new tab. The Better Tab browser extension may enable users to make short to-do lists, change the background image of their homepage and search via Seekit.com. The Seekit.com portal is a default search provider to users that have installed Better Tab. The search service offered at Seekit.com is supposed to be powered by Google, but the search results do not appear to be the same as those displayed at Google.com. Better Tab is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP).

The main distribution method used by BeeStripe LLC is software bundling, and PC users may install the Better Tab extension with a free software package unknowingly when using the 'Express' option. BeeStripe LLC has arguably success in software development, and their Search Privacy Helper (SearchLock) was poorly received in the past. The Seekit.com gateway appears to be promoted as an engine that protects the visitor's privacy, but user reports suggest it may fail to deliver accurate results and does not detect misspelled words. You might like the layout of thebettertab.com and the visual enhancements introduced by the Better Tab software, but you might not be fond of the built-in Seekit.com search provider. You may want to head the official page on the Chrome Web store at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-tab/hckpnalffccocpippngobngbcjmdoppg/reviews and read the reviews before proceeding to install the Better Tab extension. If you are not secure with using the Seekit.com engine, you may choose to remove the Better Tab extension via the Extensions Manager and use a reliable anti-spyware scanner to erase cookies and residual files.
