News Precinct
Did you download News Precinct, thinking that it would serve all of your news needs? If that is the case, you must have been disappointed by the limited services that this extension offers. First of all, it does not produce its own news. Instead, it simply presents links to websites that do. Furthermore, it does not offer an array of different news. Instead, it simply links to news channels on youtube.com. If you can access YouTube, and finding news videos and channels is not a problem, installing the extension is certainly not something you need. Of course, some people might consider the extension to be somewhat convenient. ...
Holy Bible Daily
Access to Bible Study, Reading Plans, Devotionals, and even Live Church should be provided by Holy Bible Daily, but there is more than meets the eye when it comes to this suspicious extension. When we analyzed it, it was only compatible with Google Chrome. We are sure that that was not always the case, and perhaps we will see it working on different browsers in the near future. The thing is that the installer introduced at holybibledaily.com does not work at the moment, and the only legitimate source that appears to represent the extension is the Chrome Web Store. ...
DPS Websafe
Were you convinced that DPS Websafe is a tool that can help you enjoy a safe browsing experience?

After all, it claims to present an integrated ad-blocker, to block malicious domains, and to provide you with the “safest search results.” On top of all that, it is free to download, and so even if you do not have a great need for browser security, you might decide to give it a go. ...

Perfect Startpage
Do not automatically assume that Perfect Startpage is this perfect tool that can make your boring New Tab page on Google Chrome much more exciting. Yes, it can slap on an image for the page’s background, it can offer weather information, and it also can display a few attractive easy-access links to popular sites. However, it is not useful beyond that. In fact, there is room to argue that, perhaps, this tool is actually even risky to interact with. If you have figured out that much already, perhaps you already have decided to delete Perfect Startpage from your browser too. ...

PDFConverterSearch4Free
Do not assume that every extension that sounds useful is useful. Take PDFConverterSearch4Free as an example. The name of this extension might seem promising, and the information that can be found next to its installer on the Chrome Web Store suggests that it is a beneficial tool that can optimize your web searches. Needless to say, that is usually enough for Chrome users to want to try something out. The thing is that downloading something for free is not always an inconsequential thing. Some extensions and apps can look harmless, but turn out to be malicious, and that is why you need to be cautious about what you install. ...
