Mustang Browser is a potentially unwanted program that may be installed on your computer without your knowledge. Potentially unwanted programs may often be distributed alongside freeware and shareware apps that many PC users use on a daily basis. However, while installing the app they downloaded, some users may be prompted to opt-in for optional installs like Mustang Browser. If they don't pay enough attention to the instructions, they end up accidentally agreeing to install Mustang Browser.
The Mustang Browser is a Chromium-based web browser, so its performance can be compared to that of Google Chrome since both use the same engine. However, Mustang Browser may come with a number of integrated features such as an ad-blocker, custom homepage and search engine, and some extensions with questionable functionality. Users who use Mustang Browser may see unwanted advertisements since the app is ad-supported, and their online activities may also be tracked to collect data regarding their likenesses and browsing habits. The collected details may be used to launch targeted advertising campaigns or for other marketing purposes.
Although the Mustang Browser isn't dangerous, it is a potentially unwanted program and some users might not like to keep it installed on their computer. There are better alternatives to it, and there's no point in using Mustang Browser when you have access to reputable apps like Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. If you want Mustang Browser removed, it is best to do it with the help of a reputable anti-malware application that can detect and remove all of the software's components, files, and registry entries.
