What our analysis found

Advanced AdBlock - Ad Blocker, used by 70,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a standard ad blocker that uses declarativeNetRequest and scripting to hide DOM elements based on filter rules. All communication is internal (chrome.runtime.sendMessage) and typical for ad blocking functionality. No external data exfiltration, tracking, or remote code loading was found. The high permission requirements are necessary for ad blocking across all sites. The ML model's risk score is low (0.00), and the extension has a 5.0 rating, trusted publisher, and a clear privacy policy. The code matches the stated purpose and category.
