CrossBrowser is another chrome-like browser by ClaraLabs. Previously, we removed BoBrowser – similar problem-ware. CrossBrowser is obviously potentially unwanted program. It is chromium-based browser that replaces Chrome as default browser on your computer. It has inbuilt adware inside and default search engine and homepage. It can also set such webpage as default in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers.
