BrowserProtect is a lightweight Firefox extension able to monitor your downloading sessions and provide efficient protection against any changes made to your homepage, as well as the search and address webpages.

Some software applications can apply several tweaks to your web browser and it proves to pretty difficult to get rid of the unwanted changes.

This is why you need dedicated tools, like BrowserProtect, to help you add a security layer to your web browser.

The program sports a clean and straightforward layout that offers only a few configuration settings to tinker with.

BrowserProtect gives you the possibility to select the protection level and pick the options to be monitored (homepage, search and address bars).

What’s more, you can create exclusion lists for homepages, search bar, and URLs, as well as delete the selected ones. Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to work with this tool, even rookies can set up the dedicated parameters with minimum effort.

During our testing we have noticed that BrowserProtect carries out a task very quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it doesn’t put a lot of stress on CPU and memory, so the overall system performance is not affected.

To sum things up, BrowserProtect offers a simple yet efficient software solution when it comes to protecting you against unwanted changes made to your web browser. It can be easily installed and configured by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.

What's new in BrowserProtect 1.1.2:

  • Clearer information for hijacks
  • Reduced install size
  • Catching now installs that disguise their search as the browser's default search
  • Catching now installs that take the homepage and change the type of homepage setting later
