The Simple Finder Multi Region Chrome Extension does not bring any useful features to your Web browsers, and instead of enhancing your browser's functionality, it might end up impairing your ability to search the Web. This is because the installation of the Simple Finder Multi Region Chrome Extension will lead to a change concerning the Google Chrome's default search aggregator. Users of this add-on will have all of their searches executed through the URL 'Bar-cube.com/helper/request/tab-search?query=.' This Russia-based website does not host any content and, instead, its only real purpose seems to be to redirect the search queries of the users and take them to the Yahoo Search. This means that the users of the Simple finder Multi Region will still see reliable search results, but there's a fair chance that this might change in the future.

The installation of the Simple Finder Multi Region Chrome Extension is likely to occur either via direct download or with the assistance of low-quality software bundles, which propose the installation of this add-on by claiming that it is capable of providing users with access to browser-enhancing features – this, unfortunately, is not true.

If you notice that all the searches executed through the address bar are getting redirected through Bar-cube.com, then there's a fairly high chance that the Simple Finder Multi Region Chrome Extension has been installed on your computer. Thankfully, this issue does not put you in danger, and you can resolve it by running a credible PC security scanner that will locate and remove the files linked to this extension. The removal of Simple Finder Multi Region should revert your browser's configuration automatically, therefore restoring your search settings.
