Browserhome.net looks like a search provider, but it actually uses gobrowser.mobi to showcase search results. This search tool belongs to the provider, and both are developed by AirFind, a company that supposedly “generates revenue for mobile operators, publishers, mobile device manufacturers and advertisers by providing discovery and content monetization.” Just by looking at this statement, you might realize that Browserhome.net is an advertising tool. If this is news to you, you must not have used this tool to browse the web. When you do, advertisements are shown at the very top. The normal search results are placed below the ads. These regular search results are taken from the Google search engine, and that is not surprising, considering the “Google Custom Search” tag attached to the search field. Do not be mistaken. The suspicious search engine merely exploits the well-known search provider, and the sponsored content is injected by AirFind. The advertisers partnered with this company are unknown, and so we cannot advise interacting with the ads that are shown.
