Music Browsing Extension

The Music Browsing Extension and the Media Start Extension are two parts of a single browser service offered by the getMedia Internet site. The Music Browsing and the Media Start extensions are marketed as attractive applications to Web surfers who are looking for free alternatives to Spotify and Pandora. The getMedia suite of extensions is designed to be integrated into Google Chrome and load music video content from YouTube.com. The Media Start Extension is programmed to replace the user's new tab page with a customized version of Search.searchmedia.online while the Music Browsing extension changes the user's primary search provider to Search.searchmedia.online, loads a drop-down menu and displays notifications on the user's desktop.

The Media Start Extension can be found at Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/media-start/gpfpblkonamkagckocgpmpgbjhjmfijg. It changes the new tab to 'Media Start|chrome-extension://gpfpblkonamkagckocgpmpgbjhjmfijg/index.html' and asks for the following permissions:

• Read and change all your data on websites you visit.
• Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
