About Popcornew?
Popcornew supports various types of advertising and is a web browser extension that operates within Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. Designed to inject advertisements in a variety of formats into the web pages users visit, this ad-supported extension delivers full banner adverts and text-hyperlinks over existing HTML content. The banners are inserted within white space in the rendered HTML or by overwriting existing page ads. Importantly, the ads are not associated with the underlying website and are injected by the adware through an extension, BHO, or plugin depending on the browser. According to the terms, Popcornew runs a plug-in using Firefox and Internet Explorer to anonymously detect a user's browsing interests in real-time. Based on this data, the extension delivers relevant content such as articles, videos, and offers.
