This add on has malware built in. It will automatically redirect your browser to another site. Go.inkam.com. Which is an ad revenue generator. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This should be removed from the store here.

It said it blocked 31 ads, WHILE I WAS WATCHING AN AD! So, it seems to be an R.N.G. that just generates a random number, and not much else.

Do Not Download. This extension made every click on Amazon.com lead to the virus-like page of Go.lnkam.com. Purchases, reviews, returns, billing, tracking, suggestions, everything led to the scam blank page of Go.lnkam.com. I work for Amazon. I don't appreciate your VIRUS redirect leading me away from the page that I'm working on. They're probably also STEALING your personal info., CC info., billing, everything. Don't trust them, or these FAKE reviews. If you installed this and Amazon leads you to Go.lnkam.com over and over, it's this extension. It needs to be removed off of here.

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.

Adbear Ad blocker requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Adbear Ad blocker may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
