I am pleased to learn about the techblocker extension. It does a superb job in blocking ads, this extension gives you great options, it allows you to customize your experience by giving you clearer options to chose the kind of ads to opt out in settings as well as within websites with safe ads. Very user friendly.

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.

techblocker requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
