2021-03-26 | fx noob | 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. | ||

2020-12-20 | David Jones | I Installed This App In The Chrome Web Store, Then I Ran A Check On My HP Chrome Box, With All My Apps, That I Have Installed, Along With The App Guardio Browser Security. At Which I Trust And Will Always Use, Guario Browser Security, Will Alert You Of Any Issues Or Dangerous Apps. And It Informed Me That The AD Doctor Was A Dangerous APP! So I Removed AD Doctor, And Ran Another Scan On My HP Chrome Box, And It Said That I Had No Dangerous APPS! So For Those Who Read My Post, Do Not Install Ad Doctor On Your PC, Or Any Other Device. Guardio Browser Security Is An App That Will Scan Your Apps, And Browser And Looks For Any Malware And Adware, And Phishing And Harmful Website Blocking And An App That Leaks Your Information.a cyber security solution for in-browser malware detection, adware removal, phishing protection, harmful site blocking. |
