The Baboom browser extension is an app that can be found on Baboom.audio and in freeware bundles that radio fans may like to install. Computer users should know that the Baboom browser extension is supported by advertisements to continue being free and allows users to listen to quality radio stations. Users who installed the Baboom extension should be prepared to experience pop-up ads and sponsored search results on Google and Bing. The Baboom extension is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted program (PUP) in the same niche as the Fm1 – Radio application. However, some argue that it could be added to the adware category because Baboom uses persistent cookies and read your Internet history to facilitate the display of tailor-suited ads. Users should take into consideration that Baboom is a certified extension in the Google Chrome Web Store and may place banners with sponsored offers on e-commerce websites like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. However, tech savvy users recommend web surfers to access the Baboom.audio/radio portal and use it as a Web app in order to avoid unwanted ads in their browser. The Baboom browser extension may suggest users to install search assistants like Safer Search and MyOneSearch to earn affiliate revenue for its developers. The ads by Baboom are supplied by third parties and may not be safe. Users should keep their plug-ins up-to-date to avoid security problems caused by threats like ClickJack and ScriptXE. You may want to reconsider installing the Baboom extension and employ the services of a trusted anti-malware shield.
