As mentioned earlier, Easy News Now works only on Google Chrome browsers. If it appears on the mentioned browser, it might start displaying a pop-up window on top of it when a user is browsing. The potentially unwanted program’s pop-up window could contain links to news websites as the application’s description says that it helps finding news easier. The pop-up might seem annoying if you do not like pop-up windows being placed on top of your browser. Some users might think it does not bring any benefits as users can bookmark links of news websites. Why bookmarks could be better? Because creating them does not require installing third-party tools. Plus, bookmarked websites appear on the browser’s provided bookmarks bar and not a pop-up that could be displayed on top of the websites you visit.
We should also mention that Easy News Now might request permission to read your browsing history. It is possible that the tool could do so to collect data that would help generate more tempting advertisements. In any case, if you do not want the extension to read your browsing history, you could erase Easy News Now. If you want to erase it manually, you could use the removal guide available below. If you do not, you could employ a reputable antimalware tool that would eliminate Easy News Now.

In non-techie terms:
Easy News Now is a potentially unwanted program that promises easy access to news via your browser. The application does so by showing a pop-up window on top of a user’s browser that may contain links to websites that provide various news. Such functionality could seem useful. It could also appear useless if a user knows how to bookmark websites that provide news or other content he likes to have a quick access to them. Also, users might not like that the extension could gather data from their browsing history. While it might not be the information that is generally considered private, but some users might still feel like the application could be violating their privacy. In which case, we advise looking for tools that would not need to read your browsing history. If you decide to delete Easy News Now, you could use the removal guide placed above or employ a reputable antimalware tool.
