Is Adaware AdBlock safe?
Adaware AdBlock sends install, update, and daily browser environment telemetry to flow.lavasoft.com.
Adaware AdBlock posts telemetry when it is installed or updated and then on a daily interval. The payload includes a persistent install ID, install date, campaign/source fields, and browser, platform, extension, and locale details.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 7 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Adaware AdBlock contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
