How to remove Blaze Browser unwanted application

What kind of application is Blaze Browser?

As its name suggests, Blaze Browser is a web browser. We discovered it on a shady website and, upon inspection, concluded that it is an unwanted application that promotes a fake search engine. Because of these findings, users should avoid installing Blaze Browser and uninstall it if it is already present on their devices.

Blaze Browser overview

Blaze Browser is based on Chromium. It forces users to use its search engine, blazebrowser.gg, and does not allow users to use any other search engine. As mentioned in the introduction, blazebrowser.gg is a fake search engine because it does not generate any results. When performing a search, blazebrowser.gg redirects users to doxtox.com.

The results presented by doxtox.com may include unwanted ads and links to unreliable pages. Among these sites, there could be scam websites designed to trick users into paying for fake products or services, disclosing sensitive information, or taking other actions. Also, the promoted pages may host unwanted and malicious software.

Therefore, it is highly advisable not to use questionable search engines and always use reliable ones, such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, or others. In addition to pushing a fake search engine, Blaze Browser may gather browsing-related and other data. This can include IP addresses, search queries, browsing history, and even sensitive details like passwords.

Sometimes, the developers of apps like Blaze Browser misuse the collected data for malicious purposes or sell it to third parties, which can lead to privacy issues and other problems. Overall, it is highly advisable not to use Blaze Browser or the associated fake search engine, and remove them if already present.

Conclusion

Blaze Browser is a Chromium-based application that forces users to rely on its fake search engine, which ultimately redirects to an unreliable site. Additionally, Blaze Browser may collect sensitive data that could be misused or sold, leading to further privacy concerns. For these reasons, it is strongly recommended to avoid using Blaze Browser.

More examples of browsers classified as unwanted apps are Ninja Browser, Universal Browser, and Ouroboros Browser.

How did unwanted applications install on my computer?

Blaze Browser is distributed using a shady website and can be installed through the installer downloaded from this site. Other unofficial websites and app stores can also be used to distribute apps like Blaze Browser. Additionally, clicking deceptive ads, pop-ups, notifications from shady pages, and similar content can lead to unwanted installations.

In other cases, users can download dubious apps via P2P networks, third-party downloaders, and software bundles. When unwanted apps are bundled with other programs, users install them by leaving the provided settings (e.g., "Advanced" or "Custom") unchanged.

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

Download software from official websites or app stores. When installing software, use the available options to decline any bundled extras (if included). Keep your system secure by regularly updating your operating system, applications, and security software. Do not trust ads and pop-ups on suspicious websites.

Never agree to receive notifications from shady sites. Additionally, use a reliable security tool and regularly scan your computer for threats. If your computer is already infected with rogue apps, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
