Browser Bleach

The Browser Bleach program from Browserbleach.com is promoted as a tool that helps Web surfers clean their Web browsing history easily. The Browser Bleach is said to enable easy access to privacy-related settings in your browser and help you delete tracking cookies, run in incognito mode and clear the Internet cache. The Browser Bleach program is published on the Chrome Web Store at Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/browser-bleach/iejimcobeofncpahebccbpdbjjijpcoi and can be downloaded for free. You should note that the Browser Bleach Chrome extensions ask to change your privacy-related settings, read and modify your Internet history and change your new tab page settings.

The Browser Bleach app forces Google Chrome to load an offline page on your new tab and adds quick commands to delete tracking cookies, open an incognito window, clear cache and delete the browsing history. Computer security experts alert that the Browser Bleach extension is designed to delete the last twenty-four hours of browsing history and you will need to clean the rest manually. Also, the Browser Bleach extension comes with an integrated search by Yahoo, and you can't customize the Browser Bleach New Tab. You might think that Browser Bleach is oriented to privacy-concerned Web surfers and helps you avoid tracking online. However, the Terms of Use Agreement on h[tt]p://www.browserbleach[.]com/legal/terms shows that the Browser Bleach extension is made by Polarity Technologies Ltd. that is a company, which shares information about its users with advertisers on Yahoo. The Browser Bleach Chrome extension may help you clean tracking cookies and load Google Chrome in incognito mode, but Polarity is able to track your Internet activities through the app. The Browser Bleach extension for Google Chrome is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Polarity Technologies Ltd. that created Browserbleach.com. You may not like the redirects to Yahoo and chose to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Del to access the cleanup command in Chrome.
