Is 阻擋廣告 for YouTube safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

阻擋廣告 for YouTube is high risk. When you visit a product page on books.com.tw, the extension intercepts the navigation and redirects you through an affiliate tracking URL using one of two hardcoded affiliate IDs (momoko5108 or ynip3891). The redirect goes through the books.com.tw affiliate path /exep/assp.php/ and appends utm_source, utm_medium, utm_content, and utm_campaign parameters. The extension is listed as a YouTube ad blocker and does not disclose affiliate activity in its Chrome Web Store listing or in-extension UI. Source code analysis and a PoC script confirm the mechanism. When you visit a product page on momoshop.com.tw, the extension intercepts the navigation and redirects you through an affiliate link containing one of three hardcoded affiliate IDs. The redirect happens via an offscreen iframe (CSS: position:absolute; left:-1000px) and a call to window.location.replace(), replacing your current navigation history entry. The extension is listed as a YouTube ad blocker and does not disclose this behavior in its Chrome Web Store listing or in-extension UI. Source code analysis and a PoC script confirm the mechanism.
