Ad Block Doctor cures the web from Ads by blocking them at their origin
What is AdBlock Doctor?
AdBlock Doctor is a Chrome extension that blocks ads before they're displayed by blocking the requests at their root and adds failsafe JS and CSS to regain the space taken by the ads. It is undetected by most counter-adblock scripts and can be disabled at any time. The extension does not block 100% of ads to preserve quality and avoid detection, and users can visit the website to send feedback and suggestions.

Extension summary
⭐ We block ads before they're displayed by blocking the requests at their root and add also failsafe JS and CSS to regain the space taken by the ads.
⭐ This extension is undetected by most counter-adblock scripts !
You may disable AdBlock Doctor at any time by using the toggle button after clicking on the icon.
We do not block 100% of the ads for 2 reasons :
- Some ads are not disruptive and high quality
- If you block 100% of the ads, the script will get detected and a lot of sites will prevent you from visiting

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.
THIS IS MALWARE!!! DO NOT INSTALL!!
