Chedot Browser Unwanted Application

What is Chedot Browser?

Chedot Browser is a deceptive Chromium-based Internet browser that supposedly provides faster file downloads, an Internet search service, browsing protection, and other similar functionality. This application may seem legitimate and useful, however, Chedot Browser is classed as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

This rogue application infiltrates systems without users' consent, generates intrusive online advertisements, and tracks Internet browsing activity. Users who attempt to search the Internet via this browser are redirected to the search.chedot.com website.

Chedot Browser displays a variety of intrusive online advertisements including promotion links and pop-ups. These are displayed using a virtual layer, which enables placement of graphical content on visited sites. The generated ads conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the Internet browsing experience.

Furthermore, some can redirect to malicious sites, and thus, clicking them is risky and may cause further adware or malware infections. In addition, this app collects information relating to users' Internet browsing activity including IP addresses, websites visited, search queries, etc.

These details might contain personally identifiable details, which are later shared with third parties. Therefore, having Chedot Browser installed on your system can lead to various privacy issues. You are strongly advised to uninstall Chedot Browser immediately.

This deceptive Internet browser is similar to other applications offering identical features including MyBrowser, BeagleBrowser, Super Browser, and Fusion Browser. These also claim to be legitimate Internet browsers, however, they are merely regular adware-type apps.

All adware promises to significantly improve the Internet browsing experience, and yet, the apps simply display intrusive online advertisements and collect personal data to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than enhancing Internet browsing, apps such as Chedot Browser diminish the experience and might even cause high-risk computer infections and/or privacy issues.

How did Chedot Browser install on my computer?

Download Chedot Browser on its official website. Many users, however, install this application without their consent, since Chedot Browser is often distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of additional programs with regular software/apps.

Bogus apps such as Chedot Browser are usually concealed within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. Thus, by skipping this section, users inadvertently install PUPs and expose their systems to further infection.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution - users are responsible for their own system security. Never rush when downloading and installing software. Closely analyze each step of these processes to ensure that there are no third party applications listed for installation.

Rogue programs often hide within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings, and therefore, you should never skip this section.
