Search Swapper is a Web browser extension that claims to improve the user's Web browsing experience by enhancing the functionality of the search engines they use, as well as by preventing 3rd-party apps from modifying the Web browser's default search engine. However, the way that Search Swapper My achieve this isn't user-friendly, to say the least – it may replace the user's default Web browser with one associated with Search Swapper. The low-quality search engine that Search Swapper promotes may be filled with sponsored search results, ads and other marketing content that you don't want to see while searching the Web.
The Search Swapper extension also may inject ads in active Web browser windows, and its advertisements may often include affiliate links and products, banners, pop-ups, in-text ads and other types of marketing content that may diminish your Web browsing experience significantly. Search Swapper advertisements also may promote Potentially Unwanted Programs or other low-quality websites that should be avoided if you want to stay safe online. The Search Swapper extension may rely on dubious distribution methods, and many users may install it unknowingly because of this extension's tendency to travel with software bundles that use misleading tricks whose purpose is to disguise the installation of Search Swapper.
The Search Swapper extension is misleading, useless and its removal is the best course of action. Since the manual removal of Search Swapper may not fully remove this program's files, you should handle this task with the assistance of a potent anti-malware software.
