About Boost for Internet Explorer?

Boost Shopping is a browser extension designed to deliver targeted ads to the user's browser while they browse the internet. The ads may appear as new content or overlay existing ads on web pages that are not affiliated with the extension. These ads may prompt the user to download unwanted software or make purchases from affiliated partners. Additionally, the extension may display coupons that, when clicked, will redirect the user to affiliate websites, dropping cookies on the user's computer and redirecting them to the advertiser's page. Boost Shopping also communicates with a remote server to track user habits, including the domains and pages visited, as well as the advertisements that are displayed and interacted with. Please note that Boost Shopping is intended for advertising purposes and may impact the user's browsing experience. It is important to carefully consider whether the benefits of using this extension outweigh any potential drawbacks.
