Pagefinder
Judging by the name, Pagefinder is meant to find web pages for you. Does that mean that it works as a web browser? No, it does not. It is just a search engine, and a not a beneficial or reliable one at that. At the core, this is why we recommend removing it from your web browser. At the time of this research, this PUP (potentially unwanted program) was compatible with Google Chrome only, and that is unlikely to change in the future. In fact, the installer of this PUP could no longer be found on the Chrome web store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pagefinder/dfpeedheaalbnbmclibgcgeehgdlmjnl) at the time of research. ...

Ultra Music Search
Do you want to listen to music for free? If you do, Ultra Music Search might seem like the right extension to install onto your Google Chrome browser. Unfortunately, it is just another potentially unwanted program (PUP), and its services are highly questionable.

On top of all that, the extension does not really offer high-quality content. ...
