The Webveil Browser that you can find at Webveil.net may not be your first choice when it comes to stable performance, available extensions and safety. The Webveil Browser is developed by AppsCity, Ltd. that is connected to several adware applications like GamesRockit and Ultra Notifier. The official page of the Webveil Browser says that it is built around three principles that include fast loading speed, smart search and protection. The Webveil Browser is built upon the core of the Chromium open source project. The Webveil Browser may provide the features mentioned above to a degree. However, the Webveil Browser is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities and is reminiscent of the Tortuga Browser and the Olcinium Browser. All three browsers feature nearly identical icons, they are built on Chromium and are known to favor advertisers. The difference is that the Webveil Browser is compiled with the BrowserBay+ platform and functions as a monetization engine. Every time you do a search with the Webveil Browser your search terms may be sent to advertisers for analysis automatically.
Whenever you load a page in the Webveil Browser, a virtual layer may be placed on top of its content to show advertisements from sponsors that may include video commercials, banners and pop-up windows. Additionally, the smart search in the Webveil Browser may be provided by Searc.searchitknow.com that is associated with a browser hijacker. Computer experts note that the Webveil Browser may be deployed with freeware packages and become your default Internet client automatically. The interface of the Webveil Browser might not be easy to distinguish from Google Chrome unless you go to Settings and read the notes in the About section. As stated before, the Webveil Browser may favor some advertisers over others and might block the native ads on your favorite pages and trusted e-commerce portals like Amazon and Best Buy. That may not be welcomed by most users and may be interpreted as a security risk. You might want to remove the files associated with Webveil Browser by using a reliable anti-spyware instrument that can delete the tracking cookies that come with the Webveil Browser.
