Genius PRO : Adblocker +Total Web Security

Like many of us, I'm here because my Ad Block Origin was 'fired' (Lol...my word Not theirs!) by the Google Gods! *(you may now insert my Big sigh of sadness! :) I'm 'Reviewing' the extension because my firewall has never taken an instant dislike to any extension before now...Lol...so, I mulled it over briefly, & I've decided to uninstall. Here's my reason: the "Genius PRO: Ad Blocker + Total Web Security"extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing guidelines...(Lol...HOW the f#(& does that even work!?)🤔 baffling, as "...Total Web Security" is in their extension's NAME for pete's sake! 😂🤣😅 No, my trusty firewall suggested I suggest to, "Genius PRO" they should update their legitimacy & adjust the beginning of "Genius PRO's" extension address, IE address does NOT begin w/ "HTTPS://", which I'm guessing, for security is a no-no. (Lol...Doubt the company's unaware! But, I cannot (in good conscience) suggest to others an 'Ad Blocker + Total Web Security' extension that's unacceptable to the most very basic of firewalls.)

It does what it's supposed to as far as blocking but it also does something that I HATE and can't find a way to disable. It suddenly blocks ALL links opening in new tabs, whether they're listed in a a filter or not. I have search results set to open in new background tabs. This now fails and instead this stupid extension opens a dialog to allow or block. THIS SUCKS. It's STUPID and it NEEDS TO GO AWAY. Whoever thought this was a good idea is a flipping MORON.

Used to work fine in the past, but recently added forced blocking of all links that open a new tab, and I cannot turn it off, it broke so many sites that it is not practical to use this extension anymore. I also found no way to report a bug, so I only can leave negative review. I can consider reinstalling the extension if they remove "popup" blocking or at least make it optional. Currently any link that opens a new tab counted as a "popup", so not just actual popups are blocked, but everything that tries to open a new tab - this makes no sense. I think by default this either should be disabled or only block popups based on blacklist of known bad domains, but not everything. And definitely not forced on me without an option to disable.
