Safety

Risk impact

AdBlock — best ad blocker requires a lot of risky permissions and is not safe to use. Avoid installing this add-on unless you absolutely trust this publisher.

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, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

AdBlock — best ad blocker has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. 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 an Edge add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.

User reviews

Blocks some ads & allows you to hide part of a website manually but best I can suggest is never opt in to the premium service. I have cancelled it 4 times now & I'm still getting billed for it. I shouldn't even have to cancel it that many times just the 1 so as far as I can tell they don't actually have a function to cancel the billings & they're just hoping you're not willing to make an issue over $1 every month. Well I'm no longer using the service so that $1 is adding up & annoying me as I already cancelled it, STOP BILLING ME. So next time it happens I'm reporting it to the bank as a fraudulent charge.

You know what? Whenever I use this absolutely freaking awesome AdBlock while using YouTube, I can't believe how can a software is openly available in the market. Hats off to the developer and the entire team members who is working hard to give us this amazing app. Its awesome.
