Adorei as Extensões da Urban, as quatro são EXCELENTES, usando as 4 que tem para o Chrome, e também usando no Opera e Microsoft Edge... As quatro são: Browser Guard, Urban VPN (ou utiliza extensão para cada browser [melhor opção para jogos e navegação] ou usa a Urban Free VPN - Windows/Mac [melhor opção para workstations - navegação limitada], as duas juntas o PC anula o navegador), Ad Blocker e Safe Browsing.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Urban Safe Browsing requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Urban Safe Browsing has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
