User reviews

Users appreciate Genius PRO for effectively blocking many ads and its user-friendly interface. However, recent updates have introduced significant drawbacks, such as forced blocking of all links opening in new tabs with no disable option, causing navigation issues. Some also report incompatibility with certain websites, security trust concerns, and occasional reduced blocking performance. While still effective in many cases, users note it falls short compared to alternatives like AdGuard or uBlock Origin Lite and has some usability and security warnings.
Pros
  • Effectively blocks a large number of ads on various websites.
  • User-friendly interface with customizable options.
  • Good performance with low resource usage compared to some other ad blockers.
  • Effective at blocking YouTube ads and other common online ads.
  • Includes additional web security features beyond ad blocking.
Cons
  • Recent updates forcibly block all links opening in new tabs with no option to disable, breaking workflows.
  • Causes usability issues on some websites, such as Instagram and Twitch, reducing functionality.
  • Some users report the extension triggers security warnings and is not fully trusted by firewall or safe browsing protocols.
  • Performance has degraded after recent updates, with some ads still slipping through and slower load times noted.
  • Inconsistent blocking effectiveness compared to other ad blockers like AdGuard and uBlock Origin Lite, sometimes missing anti-adblock notices.

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.)

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.

Genius PRO : Adblocker +Total Web Security requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
