TrendsTab.com is the official web page of the extension. It contains its Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement documents. Also, it has a download button that can install the extension on Google Chrome. Still it is quite unlikely that you downloaded the extension from its official site because you would have to know its exact title. Instead, you may have noticed the application on Chrome Web Store, although it looks like it is not very popular among users as it still has zero reviews and not many downloads. Thus, it could be that the application is spread with bundled installers too. To be more precise, you would notice the extension only on the setup wizard since it could appear as a suggestion.

If you installed the program yourself, you should have noticed a notification from your browser. It says that the extension should be able to “read and change all your data on the websites you visit, communicate with cooperating websites and change your search settings to search.trendstab.com.” If you trust software and its creators you could allow it such rights. However, in this situation, it would not be wise. Since the extension might show you advertising it is possible that with these rights it could replace original ads on websites you visit with third-party ads, offers, etc.

The extension’s End User License Agreement says that TrendsTab.com software might display third-party content that “may include advertising, or advertising-supported search results, which will be displayed to you if you use the search box or click on trending terms.” Sadly, third-party advertising might redirect you to suspicious web pages. For example, the site could suggest freebies in exchange for your private information, e.g. email address, telephone number, and other. The problem is that such information could be used or shared with other interested parties without your consent. Moreover, third-party websites could promote potentially unwanted programs, adware, and other applications that you should avoid.

As you realize, TrendsTab.com extension is a rather worthless program as it provides you with modified search results and suspicious ads that can lead you to third-party sites. Users who want to avoid such content should remove the browser hijacker from their computers and restore modified browser settings. If you have no idea how to do it, you should check the removal instructions below. It should not be too complicated, but if you think that you cannot manage to do it on your own, try installing a reliable antimalware tool. It can help you not only to remove the application but also protect your system from malware.
