How Getonlinerecipestab.com hijacks a browser

Getonlinerecipestab.com (or Getrecipesonlinetab1.com) is a webpage that has a search bar in the middle (which opens Yahoo.com), possibly an advertisement below it, and a few links at the top. These links range from news and weather sites to various diet advise, shopping, and food delivery sites.

Getonlinerecipestab.com gets installed by a browser add-on called Get Online Recipes. Browser add-ons (extensions) are small applications that can be installed on the browser and change how it works. ideally, they would add features and introduce some improvements. But they can also be used to take advantage of their users.

The Get Online Recipes add-on is described as helping you search and access popular recipes. But honestly, that’s what search engines already do – without messing up your browser’s new tab. So, what does Get Online Recipes really want?

Browser add-ons can be made by anyone: companies, professionals, hobbyists. You could make one pretty easily. One of the most productive add-on makers is Eightpoint Technologies, the company behind Getonlinerecipestab.com (and My Recipe Finder, Tasty Online Recipes, Get Recipes, The Cooking Club, View Recipes For Free, and many, many others). A bunch of clone extensions that do the same thing: replace the new tab page and redirect users to Yahoo.com.

Get Online Recipes can read your browsing history, search queries, what ads and icons you clicked on, and what other extensions you have installed. All this information could be used to help advertisers show you relevant ads. Browser add-ons are bad for privacy in general, not just Get Online Recipes.

Getonlinerecipestab.com also tries to show you pop-up ads through notifications, often about other browser add-ons.
