Extension summary

The Nielsen Computer Panel is your opportunity to be a part of the research we do here at Nielsen. Your participation helps us understand how consumers use the Internet and computers by studying the types of websites people like you visit. By adding our extension to your computer, you are contributing to the measurement of the digital landscape and are eligible to earn rewards.

Before enabling our Nielsen extension, you must first sign up using our Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel registration form. Once your registration is submitted, you can enable this extension on your computer. If you have not completed our registration form, this extension will not function and you will not receive rewards.

With your help, Nielsen and our clients will better understand trends such as website visits and how much time is spent viewing content. In addition, the extension collects certain browser usage information including navigation and webpage/video data which is securely sent back to Nielsen for research purposes. We do NOT collect user IDs, passwords, banking or financial information. Your activity will be anonymized and aggregated along with thousands of other participating panelists before any reports are shared.

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 20,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn
