In code review (v2.0.3)

Our reviewer read version 2.0.3 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Giant ad blocker, used by 100,000 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 was last updated in May 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate ad blocker using standard Chrome APIs. All external data flows (uninstall URL) go to the publisher's own domain ([domain withheld]), carrying only anonymous usage counters and a random token—consistent with first‑party analytics. No personal information, browsing history, or credentials are collected. The obfuscation techniques are typical of ad‑blocker evasion, not concealment of malicious behaviour. The ML model likely over‑fit on broad permissions and high JavaScript size caused by filter lists and polyfills.
