Citypage.today

City Page Today Home Page is a Google Chrome extension that promotes Citypage.today, a page that looks like a search provider, so if you ever install it on your computer, you will find your Google Chrome settings altered right away. Speaking specifically, this extension changes the default homepage, New Tab URL, and search tool once it affects users’ browsers. Of course, it will not be a surprise for you if you have installed this add-on from its official source and read its description (“This extension sets your New Tab to City Page Today with photos, links, updates and more”), but we are sure that the presence of a new URL will be quite a shock for you if the extension is installed on your computer without your consent and then make modifications. If you are not happy about the presence of Citypage.today on your Google Chrome browser, you can delete City Page Today Home Page at any time. Actually, you should carefully consider whether it is worth keeping it active even if you have installed it on your PC willingly because we cannot confirm that it is fully trustworthy. Our specialists have even decided to call it a browser hijacker. If you find it extremely hard to decide what to do with City Page Today Home Page and the page it has set on your web browser, you should carefully read the next paragraph. If you arrive at a decision to disable this Google Chrome extension, we are sure you will find some useful information in the last paragraph.

Citypage.today does look like a search tool at first glance, but we cannot call it an ordinary search provider. It not only allows users to perform web searches and access third-party websites, but also makes it possible to set a picture of a city they like as background with the single click on Change background. Citypage.today is quite appealing, we have to admit, but we still cannot call it a reputable search tool. If you wonder why it is so, we have an answer for you – research has revealed that it might display some modified search results too even though it redirects all searches to bing.com, which is considered a legitimate search engine. It is not that easy to say which of the search results displayed are the modified ones because they usually do not differ much from ordinary search results. These search results are shown to users just to drive traffic to third-party pages. Most likely, these pages will not contain any information you are searching for, and some of them might even be malicious. For example, they might promote bad applications. The presence of the modified search results on the search results page opened by Citypage.today is not the only thing you should know about. It has also turned out that this search tool collects information about users. If you open its Privacy Policy document, you will see that it not only records keyword queries, but might also gather some technical details, e.g. default language setting, browser type, IP address, and more. Luckily, there is a way to stop this – delete City Page Today Home Page from your browser in order to get rid of Citypage.today.

The piece of software promoting Citypage.today can be downloaded directly from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/city-page-today-home-page/omjifaanlgiocfonnjlengeomjfhgklg?hl=en) by users; however, it is still often called a browser hijacker because not all users remember installing this piece of software on their computers voluntarily, which suggests that it might be distributed bundled too. There are hundreds of untrustworthy applications that are spread using the popular distribution method bundling, so you should enable security software on your computer after the City Page Today Home Page extension removal. You need to update your security tool periodically and keep it active so that it could work properly on your system.

You will see Citypage.today set as your homepage, default search tool, and New Tab URL every day unless you delete the browser extension linked to it from your Google Chrome browser. It is not very hard to erase it – it can be deleted via the add-ons manager. If this does not tell you much, use our manual removal guide you can find below. If it does not help you at all, acquire the automatic scanner and launch it. We are sure it will delete the unwanted extension for you if it is a legitimate tool.
