About snipsmart?

Snipsmart is a browser extension designed to deliver targeted advertising to the user's browser on non-affiliated web pages. It injects new ads onto web pages or displays them on top of existing ads. These ads may prompt the user to download potentially unwanted software or make purchases from affiliate partners. Clicking on any offers or coupons may lead to redirects that drop affiliate cookies onto the user's computer and direct them to the advertiser's page or offer. Additionally, Snipsmart communicates with a remote server to track user behavior, including the domains and pages visited, as well as the advertisements clicked on.
