Is AdBlock Pause safe?

Clean risk

AdBlock Pause temporarily disables selected ad blockers when you click its toolbar button.

AdBlock Pause uses Chrome's extension management permission to check for AdBlock Plus and AdBlock. When you click its toolbar button, it disables a detected enabled ad blocker, reloads the current tab, and turns the blocker back on after 2.5 seconds.
