Should Handle Rogue Browser Extension Be Removed?

Handle is the name of a rogue browser extension for the Chrome browser.

Being a rogue extension and a potentially unwanted application, it cannot be found on the official Chrome web store. This fact alone should tell you a lot about the legitimacy of the extension.

Handle functions as adware. It will display unwanted ads inside your Chrome browser. The issue with those ads is not even their presence, but rather their nature.

Rogue extensions and adware in general often partner up with rogue ad networks and deliver their ads. Rogue ads can refer the user to all sorts of places you don't want to visit online, including misleading websites, scam or phishing pages, fake giveaways and surveys that collect personal information, as well as the installers of other potentially unwanted programs.

In case you find Handle among your Chrome extensions, you will also notice it has no description, just the name "Handle" in the description box. Your best move would be to uninstall the extension as soon as you find it.
