Redirect all Bing (and therefore cortana) searches to a search engine of your choice!.
Man it's been a long month. We got DMCA'd by Microsoft for the logo, but we got a new one from a very generous preston locke. Enjoy!
-----------------------
My Google account was compromised and an unofficial version (1.1.3) was sent out as an update to all Chrometana users. That update bundled malware.
We are so incredibly sorry for this and are working with Google to identify how the account was compromised. We have just shipped update 2.0 out now, which includes a streamlined ui and NO MALWARE.
Please do not hesitate to contact Theo through Github or feedback on here at any point. Again, we are so sorry about this and are going far out of our way to prevent compromises from happening in the future.
