Is Ad-BlockerPro safe?
Ad-BlockerPro injects a pcvark promotional iframe into HTTP and HTTPS pages you visit.
Ad-BlockerPro runs a content script on all HTTP and HTTPS pages and, after a short delay, can add an iframe loaded from adblocker.pcvark.com. It also downloads security blocklists, whitelists, and download-blocking data over plaintext HTTP from ad-blocker.org hosts, which are then used for page and download blocking decisions.
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 - 2 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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.0.42resigned1. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Ad-BlockerPro 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.
