Is AdLock safe?
AdLock fetches remote filter rules that can inject server-supplied JavaScript into HTTP and HTTPS pages.
AdLock runs a content script at page start on all HTTP and HTTPS pages, then asks its background script for scripts that match the current hostname. The background script downloads filter resources from api.adlock.com and can return rule-provided JavaScript for the content script to insert into the page. Its update requests also send a persistent install UUID, browser locale, extension version, and blocked-request count to api.adlock.com.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed AdLock contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
- api.adlock.com
AdLock sends data to api.adlock.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
