Another one that instead of blocking/skipping the ads, it just plays the ad with a pitch black screen, which makes it worse since now I'm unable to skip it.

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.
Adblock for Chrome requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. 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 a Chrome extension.
Adblock for Chrome is very likely to contain malware and should not be trusted. Avoid installing.
