Buy to Joy is an adware-type application that may be falsely advertised as a web browser extension that can help you find better deals online. In general, the extension is meant to be used by online shoppers who want to be up to date with the latest deals, coupons, and promotions. However, the Buy to Joy software won't help you save money, and it certainly won't help you find relevant products online. In fact, the only thing that Buy to Joy's installation may bring you are ads. Annoying ads accompany Buy to Joy's installation, and getting rid of them is only possible if you remove the Buy to Joy extension.
The Buy to Joy ads usually include banners and pop-ups, but the extension may utilize other methods of advertising too. Apart from the ads, the Buy to Joy extension may also use a tracking cookie to collect anonymous information regarding your surfing habits. The data may often be used to improve their advertising campaigns, but it may be used for other marketing purposes too. So in the end, Buy to Joy is a spying, ad-spawning software that doesn't offer you any useful features. There's no reason to keep it installed, so removing Buy to Joy is strongly recommended.
