User reviews
Pros
- Great technology, seems different from other adblocker I tried before.
- My new reference ad blocker, replaced ublock as it's more undetected.
Cons
- Claims to not collect user information, but code suggests otherwise.
- Identified as malware by security apps.
- Sudden local storage manipulation and data sending raise privacy concerns.
Recent reviews
This totally virus extension, that controls your local storage values and sends every details of your pc to their server on https://adblockorigin.com.
Ive found this code in this extension codebase:
//controls local storage values
function analytics(){
chrome.storage.local.get(null, function(data) {
if(data['next'] == undefined){
chrome.storage.local.set({next: 4.32e7});
data['next'] = 4.32e7;
}
if(data['uid'] == undefined){
httpReq('/ext/json.php?a=uid&extid='+chrome.runtime.id+'&version='+manifest.version);
}
else if((Date.now() - localStorage['updated_at']) > data['next']){
httpReq('/ext/json.php?a=stats&uid='+data['uid']+'&version='+manifest.version+'&blockedads='+localStorage['blocked']+'&w='+localStorage['warning']+'&extid='+chrome.runtime.id);
}
});
}
and extension say it does not collect any user information.
Google does not seem to care about users security and privacy. What a bad time.
