About frontier Toolbar?

The Frontier Toolbar, developed by Conduit, is a community toolbar that seamlessly integrates with popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This ad-supported program is designed to display advertisements within the toolbar, customize the browser's home page and search settings to capture web search traffic, and aggregate usage information and statistics. The toolbar is commonly bundled with third-party developer programs to help monetize free and some paid software. During installation, users may be prompted to modify the home and search pages, although this is often preselected by default and overlooked. Removing the software from the user's PC will require manual reversion of the settings. In accordance with the End User License Agreement (EULA), the company will automatically download and install remote updates, as well as collect and store details about the user's web browsing activities locally on the PC in order to provide more targeted advertising and suggest additional services. The EULA states, "By Using a Conduit Software you may enable Conduit to access, use and collect a variety of information, both personal and non-personal, regarding your Internet Browser, your browsing habits, and information about your computer."
