Play Radio Easily

Posted: January 31, 2020

Browser extensions are not always as helpful as you might expect them to be – there are many small-time add-on publishers that specialize in creating bogus browser extensions whose sole purpose is to generate traffic for a particular website. Such is the case with Play Radio Easily, a Chrome add-on that claims to provide its users with the ability to access a wide range of radio stations for free. However, the streaming services that Play Radio Easily promotes are very well-known, and they can be used without installing 3rd-party software like Play Radio Easily. Some of the services that add-on promotes are Spotify, Pandora and SoundCloud.

The real issue with Play Radio Easily is not the services it promotes, but the fact that it achieves this by forcing you to use an unknown website as your default new tab page – Search.playradioeasilytab.com. While using this search engine is not a major issue, you should know that it might not work as reliably as Yahoo, Bing, Google, or other popular websites that are often used as default new tab pages.

Play Radio Easily is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and removing it is the recommended course of action. Of course, you should know that Play Radio Easily is not harmful, so the removal of this software is not mandatory since it does not pose a threat to your privacy and online safety.
