Get Quick Directions

Getquickdirections.com is the name given to a browser hijacker and a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). If your homepage and new tab default page have been changed to Getquickdirections.com, your browser has the Getquickdirections.com extension installed, for sure.

Getquickdirections.com does have a Disclaimer and a Privacy Policy that inform the users that the software will change their browser settings, including homepage, start page, new tab pages and default search engine. While it’s admirable that they decided to disclose this, the full disclosure is not on the main page, and the user may not understand what changes the browser addon will cause. The browser extension also has a page on the Chrome Web Store and zero user ratings.

This behavior where new tab and homepage content is replaced is very similar to other browser hijackers and PU, which can be disruptive to your browsing experience. Thankfully, Getquickdirections.com is very easy to uninstall from your browser.

All you should do is click the Chrome menu button in the upper right corner of the window, then click on Settings and choose Extensions from the new tab. This will show you a full list of all installed Chrome extensions, and you can find and remove or disable Getquickdirections.com.
