WaveBrowser is a Chromium-based browser that is often pre-installed onto computers where users did not intend to install it. It is usually installed alongside free software downloads or free third-party installers. It behaves like a regular browser but can change your homepage, switch your default search engine, or even bombard you with advertisements. Many machine users ask where the Wave Browser came from after noticing changes to the operating system or new shortcuts on the desktop. The way it is installed raises questions about transparency and consent. Although it is not usually considered malware, it is rarely considered to be a desirable program, and users should check what is installed on their computer and remove the Wave Browser when not wanted.
