Is Galaxy Ad Blocker safe?
Galaxy Ad Blocker accepts remote site scriptlets that can change cookies, DOM state, and fetch/XHR responses.
Galaxy Ad Blocker registers content scripts on every site and checks galaxyadblocker.com/update/ for update entries. Those updates are stored locally and replayed as page events that can run scriptlets for matching hostnames, including cookie setting/deleting, DOM targeting, and fetch/XHR response rewriting. It also sends persistent installation identifiers plus aggregate Google search and ad-block counters to the same update service.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Galaxy Ad Blocker 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.
