The Tortuga Web browser from ClaraLabs S.A. is a custom build of the open source project Chromium deployed to users as a fast and secure Internet client. The Tortuga browser can be downloaded from its official web page, but most of its installations are achieved through bundling with third-party software. You should know that the ClaraLabs S.A. company developed the BoBrowser Web browser hijacker and the Unico Browser riskware. You should always install software via the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option to avoid the installation of adware and riskware like GoGoGo Radio and Info Seeker. Security analysts note that the Tortuga Web browser is supported by advertisements that will replace the native ads you have seen on online stores like Amazon, eBay, and Best Buy. Additionally, the Tortuga browser may place banners, coupons and discounts from sponsors on non-affiliated websites. The Tortuga browser is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program that upon installation will edit your Windows Registry to become your default Internet client. You should take into consideration that the Tortuga browser will send records of your browser and download history, typed search terms and snapshots of your favorite websites to advertisers partnering with ClaraLabs S.A. Needless to say, users of the Tortuga browser will not have much privacy and may not like the way Tortuga works. The Tortuga browser may provide users with only one search provider and prevent them from using third-party service that are not approved by ClaraLabs. You may want to use a credible anti-spyware application to remove the Tortuga Web browser and ensure your privacy on the Internet is protected.
