User reviews

Lieber sofort deinstallieren. Wurde verkauft und fragwürdiger Code hinzugefügt. Er enthält jetzt eine neue connect.js-Datei. Damit werden Benutzeraktivitäten und Daten an Remote-Server übermittelt. siehe https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362 „Die Erweiterung ist nun so ausgelegt, dass sie spezifische Informationen aus Ihren ausgehenden Netzwerkanfragen nach einer extern konfigurierbaren Heuristik sucht und an https://def.dev-nano.com/ sendet.“
