Starting from macOS Catalina, all extensions and add-ons are saved in the Applications folder. How to clear unwanted elements from the Applications folder Now let’s learn about getting rid of browser toolbars. The story is similar to unwanted browser extensions that we’ve covered earlier. To avoid the appearance of such elements, be sure to read every dialogue box while installing new programs or games as there might be an already checked box that gives the app the authority to install toolbars and plugins to your Mac.
However, most of the time, these add-ons are labeled, and they need your permission to be installed. How the toolbars and plugins get installedĪs we already mentioned, annoying toolbars and plugins may come along with free programs that you find online, games you download, and so on. However, if you’ve already got the toolbars you want to remove, let’s do it in a browser you use: So be sure to use dedicated security software such as MacKeeper to protect your Mac. Some of these annoying toolbars are a result of malware or adware getting onto your computer. What’s more, these toolbars, which usually get onto your computer along with other apps, may cause ad pop-ups, track your web history, and otherwise invade your privacy. Some of them get installed covertly and eventually become an annoyance as you use the browser. There can also be additional toolbars developed by companies other than the browser-makers. All modern browsers have built-in toolbars that help you navigate the internet, save favorite pages for quick access, access useful plugins, and more.
