For starters we ought to say that the extension might work only on Google Chrome and that it could be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store page. Users who come across the plugin’s homepage titled history-see.com, should be able to get it from there as well. Also, our specialists think that the application could be spread via bundled software installers, pop-up ads, and redirects. That is because HistorySee is classified as a potentially unwanted program and such applications are often spread through the mentioned content.

Furthermore, if you place HistorySee on your browser, it might change your new tab page or your homepage with a site called history-see.com/newtab/v1.

It is essential to know that the plugin might be able to alter the gathered results to place third-party ads among them.
