u can get an ad blocker for free no money and this just blurs them and asks for money

The thing I like about Blur is that, unlike ad blockers, you have the option to view ads if you like. Sometimes you want to see who is advertising and with Blur it's so easy. (feature request: How about a hot key or context menu item to unblur all ads on page, for that page only?) I installed it and it was only after a couple of days of using it did it start to grow on me. I usually don't like ANY extensions but this one is a keeper. Disclosure, I know the author so it's possible that I'm biased (but I'm not).

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.

Blur.live Ultimate requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

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.

Blur.live Ultimate has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
