It is in the grey area, so you can keep it if you really want to but you can also remove it especially if you got it on your PC unintentionally. ...

MapsFrontier
If you have downloaded the MapsFrontier extension, it is most likely that you did that expecting that it would help you track traffic and check road directions in an easier manner. This is not a ridiculous expectation, considering that mapsgfrontier.com – which is also the download page of the extension – represents maps, road directions, and information regarding your local traffic. Unfortunately, the add-on has nothing to do with that, and it was created only to flood users with advertisements. In fact, the word “Advertising” is attached to the official name of the suspicious extension. ...

Toothy
