Do you know what Online Radio Finder Tab is?
If you want to listen to radio online, we do not recommend installing Online Radio Finder Tab. This extension provides links to online radio stations, but that is not necessarily a useful service. In fact, we believe that if you want to have links to third-party sites accessible via your browser, it is best to bookmark these sites. How does that work? When you go to a website you want to bookmark, you click the star symbol in the address bar. From that point on, you will see an icon to that website at the top of your browser, and that will not change whether you are on homepage or New Tab page. To show and hide the bookmarks bar, tap keys Ctrl+Shift+B. So, should you delete Online Radio Finder Tab just because it does not seem to work that amazingly? There is more, and you should continue reading if you are interested.
Did you know that Online Radio Finder Tab has many applications similar to it? That is because it belongs to Endpoint Technologies Ltd., and this company is linked to Easy Steps DIY Tab, Find Instant Recipes, Search Pro, View Free Recipes, and many other apps alike. They all seem to offer links to different sites (although some are basically identical), but the layouts are the same, and they all have the same structure. They also all redirect to Yahoo Search. Online Radio Finder Tab is represented on Chrome via hp.honlineradiofinder.com, which replaces the New Tab page. This is where all of the easy-access links to third-party sites are found. These links might be legitimate, but the search tool is not. At first, it might seem useful because it redirects to Yahoo Search, but know that the results cannot be trusted. They are modified by the extension, and that is why we identify it as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) and recommend deleting it.

If you downloaded Online Radio Finder Tab from the Chrome Web Store (onlineradiofinder.com redirects to chrome.google.com/webstore/detail//hdolpfpfiimgnjjojdkccplbegegcaai), you must have been informed that this PUP reads browsing history. The Privacy Policy reveals even more. According to it, the PUP can also collect personal and non-personal information, track your activity, and see how you interact with the content it shows. This is supposed to help with the marketing side of the business. Well, the data that Online Radio Finder Tab collects can be passed on to undisclosed parties. It is unknown whether the developer of the PUP has vetted them or if they know that these parties can be trusted with users’ data, which is why we do not think that trusting them is a good idea. At the end of the day, the PUP is meant to offer online radio, not collect data and use it for advertising, which is why we advise conducting removal.
We have no doubt that you are able to remove Online Radio Finder Tab. The process is not complicated, and performing the steps below is not difficult. What you need to do is find the PUP and click the ‘Remove’ button placed next to it. If you want to take an extra mile, you also should open the ‘Clear browsing’ data menu and clear the browsing data in the time range that the PUP was installed. It’s all very simple, and we have created a guide to make the process even easier. That being said, nothing beats a trusted anti-malware tool, and if you think that other threats exist, or you are worried about your system’s protection, implementing anti-malware software is the best decision.

In non-techie terms:
You can delete Online Radio Finder Tab from your Chrome browser manually. You also can implement an anti-malware tool that will clear your browser automatically. Whichever method you choose, it is most important that you get rid of the PUP because it serves you in no beneficial way. It aids third-party advertisers, but it does not aid you. Sure, it can offer a few links to third-party sites, but since you can bookmark them for easy access, you do not need the extension. Follow the guide above, or install anti-malware software for removal, and do not hesitate to leave a comment below if you have questions.
