User reviews

Very good extension, I've been using it for a very long time I advise everyone to install and turn on, Very good protection especially for social networks!

Это не блокировщик рекламы это Антивирусное расширение Dr.Web. Работает из контекстного меню. Защищает от фишинга и вирусного заражения в социальных сетях. Прежде чем устанавливать приложение читайте описание .Много плохих отзывов потому что люди думают что это блокировщик рекламы но это антивирус.
