Is Adblock Plus - free ad blocker safe?

Clean risk

Blocks ads, pop-ups, video ads, banners, and some third-party trackers while browsing the web.

This extension starts blocking ads on YouTube and other sites after installation, with options to pause it on a site or customize what to block and allow. It shows some nonintrusive Acceptable Ads by default, and this setting can be turned off. Premium features add blocking for items such as auto-play videos, newsletter pop-ups, survey requests, and cookie banners.

Shared hosts - 4 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.
