Problems with 365Scores

365Scores is a sports extension

365Scores – Live Scores and Sports News is a browser add-on.

On the Chrome Web Store, it has more than forty thousand users and many positive reviews.

365Scores promises to bring users sport match schedules, live scores, and other sport-related news. It offers customizable channels to help users track their favorite sports teams by clicking on the extension’s icon in the browser’s upper right corner.

Based on 365Scores’s reviews, people love it – but they hate the new tab, a relatively new and mandatory feature.

When 365Scores is installed, it replaces the browser’s new tab/home page. Instead of your preferred new tab – whether it’s the browser’s default new tab that you might have customized to your liking, or a page set up by another browser extension – 365Scores displays its own page full of links and, most prominently, a search box.

People don’t really like it that 365Scores hijacks their new tab page. They feel that this turns a pretty useful extension into something intrusive and annoying.

It’s an advertising extension

This search box that 365Scores displays accepts search queries and opens web search results, but which website it goes to is up to 365Scores. It seems to be different depending on the query. Sometimes it’s Yahoo, but other sites (find.madfuel.info) show up, too.

This is good for two things:

• Tracking users’ search history.
• Controlling how people search, what results they see. Promoting certain websites.

According to 365Scores’s privacy policy, it collects data on its users as they use the 365Scores extension. It may also receive data from third parties. That data can be used for marketing and analytics.

That is to say, 365Scores hijacks the new tab because it needs to, in order to make money. Free browser extensions usually make money by gathering user data and by forcing users to see ads.

365Scores is not all bad – it at least offers useful features, unlike Conf Search, FlashSearch, and other add-ons that give nothing valuable to their users.

How to remove 365Scores

It’s up to you if you want to use 365Scores. It’s not really harmful or dangerous. But it’s extremely unlikely that 365Scores’ developers will drop the new tab feature. Once a browser extension gets popular, it can be used to make money, and it does not matter if it ruins the extension or drivers users away.

Therefore, for the sake of your privacy, it might be best to uninstall 365Scores and find a better add-on. Just keep in mind that any extension could turn into adware at any time. Even if it’s safe right now, it might not be in the future.

You can uninstall 365Scores and other potentially unwanted browser add-ons as described in the instructions below.

It’s also helpful to use antivirus programs, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, Malwarebytes, and others, to check your computer for adware and for other potentially unwanted programs. Sometimes, anti-malware programs can help us find what we miss ourselves.

After that, review the settings for the default search engine, new tab, and notifications in your browser. Web push notification settings might remain even after associated extensions are removed and they can be used to display pop-ups on your screen.
