UnfollowAlert is an ad-based extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. UnfollowAlert has very limited positive effects and may create a range of issues, so it is recommended not to install UnfollowAlert. According to its developers, UnfollowAlert should display a pop-up whenever some of your Twitter followers decide to unfollow you. The PC users, who actively use this social platform, may enjoy being informed about the changes in the number of their subscribers and friends. Unfortunately, UnfollowAlert also may exhibit performance that the user may not expect or enjoy. This extension may change the configuration of all present Web clients thoroughly. UnfollowAlert may replace the homepage and the default search provider automatically. UnfollowAlert also may inject various pop-ups and banners, which may cause inconvenience with their intrusiveness.

You may notice the commercial materials wherever you go, even on Web pages that are ad-free normally. In addition to the pop-ups and eye-catching banners, you also may encounter interstitial ads that cover the whole screen, or in-text ads. The marketing elements may promote different products for every PC client, based on his recent searches and the full surfing history. Nothing can verify if the particular ad that catches your attention is safe or not. Some links may open fraudulent or corrupted sites, which is the reason the experts suggest you ignore them all. Unfortunately, it may be simpler said than done because UnfollowAlert also may disguise some of the sponsored links as legit search results. In some cases, the loading of the multimedia elements may lead to speed drops, freezes, glitches or other performance issues. The easiest and most reliable method to fix your browsers is by using a dedicated anti-malware application.
