ConvertoWiz
The ConvertoWiz extension from chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/convertowiz/ffmnloealihfajgcecbndhaehbhcdelf may be promoted to help the users convert files into PDF format and provide a convenient search. The ConvertoWiz extension is not likely to live up to your expectations since it fails to convert simple TXT files, DOCX files and various images. Also, the PDF conversion portal is inaccessible unless you type 'pdf' in the Omnibox manually, hit 'SPACE' and then 'Enter' on your keyboard. These actions trigger a browser redirect to https://portal.convertowiz.com/ that has a search bar at the center and a field that says 'Drag or Click here to upload a document you want to convert.' PC users should take into consideration that installing the ConvertoWiz extension requires them to agree to the following:
'Add "ConvertoWiz"?
It can:
Read and change all your data on all convertowiz.com sites
Read your browsing history.
Change your search settings to: feed.convertowiz.com'
The search engine employed by ConvertoWiz is not feed.convertowiz.com. The address mentioned in the installation window is a redirect-portal that leads the users to the search results page at Search.yahoo.com. You cannot convert and download files at portal.convertowiz.com, as well as enjoy "an exclusive web search" as promised on its product description page. Every conversion attempt we tried resulted in an 'oops something went wrong!' error notification. Examining the Privacy Policy for the ConvertoWiz application at http://convertowiz.com/privacy revealed that its developers failed to adapt to the GDPR regulations enforced by the European Union in May 2018. The ConvertoWiz application is categorized as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that forces browser redirects via feed.convertowiz.com to Yahoo and fails to provide a working PDF conversion service via portal.convertowiz.com. You might want to remove the ConvertoWiz extension and clean the tracking cookies it has downloaded on your device using a credible anti-spyware tool.
