Is AdBlocker Ultimate safe?

Low risk

AdBlocker Ultimate lets web pages trigger an extension event that closes the current browser tab.

The extension injects a content script into HTTP and HTTPS pages at the start of loading. For a brief startup window, page JavaScript can dispatch a fixed event name that makes the extension ask its background page to close the sender tab.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 2 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.
