Is AdGuardX AdBlocker safe?

High risk

AdGuardX AdBlocker fetches remote rule text from adguardx.com and injects decoded JavaScript into HTTP(S) pages.

The extension periodically downloads rules from adguardx.com, hex-decodes text hidden in those rules, and stores the decoded result as script text. When an HTTP(S) tab finishes loading, it injects that script into the page's main world, so remote rule content can run inside visited sites.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

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.
