The Yoga New Tab extension by Visicom Media Inc. is an ad-supported program that requires integration with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox to present users with beautiful photos from around the world, personalized greeting messages, quick access to social media, chill out music and weather information. The Yoga New Tab app is designed to present users with a customized page on the Mystrat.com network that can be loaded at Mystart.com/myyoganewtab/. PC users can install the Yoga New Tab by navigating to Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/yoga-new-tab/jphkcdmoaacdaignphfganfdjadbfbim and Mystart.com/myyoganewtab/. Cyber security analysts recognize the Yoga New Tab extension as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because the advertisers who support the app have access to a broad spectrum of data collected by the Yoga New Tab extension. When you proceed to install the app it would require the following privileges:

  • Read and change your data on all mystart.com sites.
  • Read your browsing history.
  • Communicate with cooperating sites.
  • Read and change your bookmarks.
  • Manage your apps, extensions and themes.
  • Communicate with cooperating native applications.

It is a good idea to read the privacy agreement uploaded to mystart.com/other.php?pr=vmn&id=mystart_y&v=1_0&ent=hp&page=privacy before you install the Yoga New Tab add-on. The Yoga New Tab add-on may change the default search provider to Yahoo and make your browser load Mystart.com/myyoganewtab/ as the standard new tab page. Web surfers should take into consideration that there is no option to opt out of targeted and contextual ads on Mystart.com/myyoganewtab/. Also, the Yoga New Tab app may disable third-party tools like Adblock Pro and Privacy Badger because they might interfere with the advertisements shown on your new tab page and sites related to Mystart.com. Computer users that are not willing to share their Internet history, software configuration, and bookmarks collection with advertisers may want to remove the Yoga New Tab app and the tracking cookies it may have downloaded by using a credible anti-spyware tool.
