Moon Browser

The Moon Browser is a functional Web browser, based on Google's open-source Chromium project. The Moon Browser can perform all of the basic functions needed in a modern Web browser. However, it appears to be mostly concerned with the promotion of the feed.moonbrowser.com address, which belongs to a fake search engine.

Users should try to avoid relying on fake engines for their search results. Typically, such addresses are promoted via dedicated browser hijacker applications or PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) with browser-hijacker capabilities. Fake search engines lack the ability to produce relevant search results by themselves. Users will be presented with results taken from a different source that could include dubious and untrustworthy engines. Indeed, the displayed results could be filled with unrelated advertisements or sponsored links leading to questionable websites.

As for feed.moonbrowser.com in particular, it has been observed to cause redirects to two different engines. If the user's search query is initiated via the browser's URL bar, it will be redirected to Google (google.com). On the other hand, if the search is entered via the engine's search bar, the shown results will be taken from Yahoo (search.yahoo.com).
