Is Adblocker Fortify safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Adblocker Fortify is high risk. Adblocker Fortify retrieves a configuration object from the developer's server that specifies which websites should have additional scripts injected into their pages. The operator can update this list at any time — adding or removing target sites — without any extension update visible to the user. The injected script (block.js) runs inside every targeted page. Adblocker Fortify retrieves its blocking rules from the developer's server every 60 minutes using a per-install token. The server's response is applied directly to Chrome's request-blocking engine without any local validation or review. This means the operator can add or remove rules affecting which sites the browser can reach — including inserting allow-rules that bypass all blocking — without any extension update.
