RadPlayer is a Web browser extension that may be advertised deceptively as a useful utility that enables users to listen to music and radio stations directly from their Web browser. According to RadPlayer, users can enjoy these features for free completely, and this is exactly what makes RadPlayer seem like a good browser extension. However, the publishers of RadPlayer may forget to tell you that their application is ad-supported – this means that as soon as you install it, you agree to have all sorts of sponsored advertising and marketing displayed in your Web browser.

RadPlayer may display ads provided by various advertising partners, so it is impossible to confirm that all of RadPlayer's ads are safe. That's why we advise users to be extra careful if they notice 'RadPlayer Ads' in their Web browser, and they must remember not to follow any links that 'RadPlayer Ads' provide. Apart from the annoying advertising techniques, RadPlayer does, in fact, work correctly, and it allows users to listen to radio stations. However, the fact that this extension modifies your Web browser's behavior in a negative way should be enough of a reason to remove RadPlayer. The manual removal of this adware may prove to be quite difficult, so we advise users affected by RadPlayer to solve this issue with the help of a good anti-malware software suite.
