The web surfers who like to sprint through search results on Google might be interested to install the TabNav browser instrument that claims to offer an online experience like you are on a tablet. Most computer users install the TabNav app as a drive-by installation of a freeware package via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. However, the TabNav app by FlowSurf Apps is ad supported and your browsing history, entered URLs and search terms will be sold to advertisers that can use TabNav to display related ads in your web client. The developers of TabNav may offer it free of charge, but you will have to tolerate banners, ad boxes and in-text commercials from merchants. You should note that the TabNav program has versions for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome that can display ads across your installed web browsers. Keep in mind that every advertiser who has the money to afford ads via TabNav may provide you with malvertising. You might want to think twice before you keep the TabNav because ad blockers may fail to protect you, and its limited functionality may not be worth your comfortable online activities. Security experts advise users to exercise caution with ad-supported programs, and you might want to use a trustworthy anti-spyware tool to remove TabNav from your PC.
