Is AdBlock for Firefox safe?
Blocks ads by default across websites, including video ads on YouTube.
This extension automatically blocks ads, lets you customize filter lists, and shows how many ads it has blocked. You can allow ads on specific pages or domains, enable text ads on Google search results, and report ads from the page. Its permissions allow it to access and modify web requests across websites to apply blocking rules.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 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.
