History Button Ads

The History Button browser extension can be found in free software bundles, and you might be suggested that it offers a quick way to open your browsing history using an icon in the navigation bar. However, users reported that it is not all it does. The History Button extension has a page on the Internet, which can be found at Historybutton.net, but it does not include the Terms of Use and Privacy Agreement policies published online. Additionally, the big 'ADD TO CHROME' button does not link to an official page on the Chrome Web Store. When a site lacks basic documentation on what the site offers and what to expect from the software they promote there should be alarms ringing.

PC users might install an unpacked version of History Button that was not verified by the security audit performed by Google Inc. on all extension published on the Chrome Web Store. The company has banned installation of unsupported extensions in Chrome. Unfortunately, adware developers and programmers who create browser hijackers may exploit the Developer Mode in Chrome to install extensions that invade your online privacy and inject content from insecure sources. The History Button extension may be used to push advertisements, coupons, discounts and recommended software to users, which may include corrupted files. PC users are advised to block the installation of unsupported extensions for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox as such operations may result in a security compromise. The Mozilla Foundation employs similar guidelines regarding insecure browser add-ons, and you should not overlook the bits of advice of cyber security experts. When you install extensions like History Button they might get access to your list of installed extensions, Internet history, recently downloaded files and share the information with third parties who might use it to launch an attack on you. The History Button software lacks adequate authentication from security authorities, and it may include potentially harmful scripts. You might wish to use a reliable anti-malware tool that can remove the History Button software from your system safely.
