BrowseForTheCause is a dubious Web browser extension that claims to work to raise money for various charities. At first, BrowseForTheCause may look like an application with a noble purpose but, unfortunately, BrowseForTheCause is far from being the good Samaritan of computer software. The charity work associated with BrowseForTheCause may not be legitimate since there's no proof of this application's reliability. Furthermore, BrowseForTheCause makes false promises by telling users that it will never inject advertisements in their Web browser or modify their Web browser's behavior.
The installation of BrowseForTheCause may happen without your knowledge because this program has a tendency to use deceptive marketing tricks. Software bundling is one of the tricks that may allow BrowseForTheCause to attach itself to your Web browser without telling you what this program is capable of doing. When BrowseForTheCause is installed, it may modify your Web browser's default homepage and new tab page, as well as begin to inject marketing content in your Web browser.
The BrowseForTheCause extension isn't an alternative to charity donations, and we advise users who want to be involved in charity work to do so by contacting proven and reputable charity organizations. The BrowseForTheCause extension is useless, and its removal is the only way to get rid of the annoying advertisements that this program may display.
