About PageRage Toolbar?

The PageRage Toolbar, developed by Conduit, is a Community Toolbar compatible with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox web browsers. This toolbar is designed to collect and store information on web browsing activities, which is then utilized by OurToolbar to suggest services or present ads through the toolbar. Upon installation, the toolbar may attempt to modify the browser's home page and search provider settings, with the option typically pre-checked by default. Additionally, it offers a search box and other standard toolbar features. Users should be aware that the toolbar has the capability to automatically download and install updates without prior notification. It operates on a pay-per-install (PPI) model, with the publisher receiving compensation from Conduit for each installation and for each month that the toolbar remains installed in the user's web browser, the amount varying based on the country of installation.
