The Nice Day Extension is featured on the official Chrome Store page, and it is being advertised as a useful weather widget, which allows users to learn more about the weather forecast directly from their web browser. While this may sound handy, you should not rush into installing the Nice Day Extension without learning more about the changes this add-on is meant to bring. This add-on can only be installed if the user agrees to allow it to tamper with their browser's settings to provide the user with the features they were promised.

The Nice Day Extension adds a new menu to Google Chrome, which displays the weather data, and it also provides the user with a quick link to Skyinc.net, a page that hosts the weather widget above, as well as a search engine, which delivers results via Google. Some users might experience other changes such as having their new tab page set to Skyinc.net. While changes of this sort are not deemed to be unsafe, they may often irritate users.

If you've installed the Nice Day Extension and you do not wish to continue using its services, then you should proceed to uninstall it completely. Since this add-on is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), its removal can also be executed with the help of a trustworthy PC security utility.
