Is Adblocker X safe?
Adblocker X fetches addonsrv.net rules that can inject controller iframes into matching websites and alter page content.
Adblocker X downloads remote recommendation and request-header rules from addonsrv.net after startup. On matching websites, those rules can insert an iframe whose URL includes the current page URL, then let that iframe message the content script to clone, remove, rewrite, style, and add click handlers to page elements. The same remote configuration can add a From: @nrs header to matching outgoing web requests.
