What is EZPackageTracking?
EZPackageTracking is a misleading browser extension that can drive users crazy by its activity. You may find and download it from the official Chrome Store, however, in most cases, EZPackageTracking appears on users’ devices without their knowledge. The thing is that developers spread its offspring using “bundling” method when EZPackageTracking comes along with other freeware programs as an optional offer.
