Fast Start is a homepage that gets onto Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer and takes the place of the one you already have as a default. Fast Start gets installed by an unwanted program and is hard to remove without the right tools. Its developers make sure that this page stays on your browser for as long as possible so that they can reap maximum benefits: each time you use Fast Start services, they cash in.
Fast Start derives from the Lightning Newtab add-on, which appears each time you open a new browser tab. Besides slowing down your browser, which has to implement additional instructions in its memory in order to load and display this add-on, Fast Start also threatens privacy since it can access all of your browsing history.
