User reviews

Pros

Some users mention that a similarly named service, potentially ilink网络加速器, unblocks and accelerates websites such as Google and YouTube.
One review suggests a site (5c5810fd.weaksharedptr.com) offering permanent free traffic for a service that includes unlocking streaming services and has multiple fast and stable nodes.

Cons

Several users warn this is a fake or deceptive version of uBlock Origin.
Some state that it has a shady appearance and similar logo to mislead users.
One reviewer mentions the extension has minimal functionality, showing only a switch without statistics or options, offering a worse experience than the Firefox version.
Concerns are raised about privacy and security, as the extension may push surveys and remotely read tab information.

Shady lookalike of the "uBlock Origin" extension (use that instead). This extension can push you surveys and remotely read all your tab info (see the JavaScript source code in `src/background/survey.js` and `src/api/api.js`)
