Is AdShield for YouTube - YouTube Adblocker To Remove All Ads safe?

Low risk

AdShield for YouTube blocks YouTube ads and, if opted in, fetches server-chosen URLs and uploads the ad pages it finds to adpocalypse.net.

The extension blocks YouTube ads and refreshes its blocking rules and ad-slot styling hourly from adpocalypse.net. If a user opts into passive scanning during onboarding, it polls adpocalypse.net every 5 minutes for URLs to fetch, using the browser's cookies where the broad host permission was granted. It then sends the resulting ad HTML, advertiser details and the URL back to adpocalypse.net.
