DiscountRatio is a questionable browser extension that may appear in your web browser without your knowledge. The main reason for this is the fact that DiscountRatio isn't distributed via the official plugin repositories of popular web browsers. Instead, this ad-supported browser extension may be introduced into your system via the installation of bundled software that may ask you to install DiscountRation as an optional content. Unfortunately, many PC users don't pay enough attention when installing new software, so they might accidentally agree to install the DiscountRatio adware. Keep in mind that the DiscountRatio adware might be advertised as a helpful tool that can provide you with up-to-date information regarding online deals, sales, and promotions, but the tool is far from help when it comes to online shopping.
This extension is responsible for the appearance of DiscountRation advertisements in all popular web browsers. Apart from the vast number of ads, the questionable extension might work in the background to collect anonymous data regarding the targeted user's favorite websites, browsing habits, and miscellaneous online activities. This information might be used for marketing purposes or sold to 3rd-party ad publishers. Needless to say, DiscountRatio is a browser extension that doesn't introduce any important features, so there are no valid reasons to keep it installed. Its immediate removal is the best course of action because this way you can restore the normal operating state of your favorite web browser.
