What our analysis found

Advanced Ad Blocker, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It was last updated in October 2024.

Analyst notes

The extension is an ad blocker. All network requests go to the publisher's own domain ([domain withheld]) for rule updates and an installation ID, which is consistent with its purpose. The permissions (declarativeNetRequest, scripting, <all_urls>) are standard for ad blocking. The code contains no data exfiltration, obfuscation beyond minification, or malicious behavior. The risk engine flagged broad permissions, but this is expected for this category; the ML model gave a low risk score.
