Is Giant ad blocker safe?
Giant ad blocker downloads ad-blocking rules and page scriptlet settings from giantadblocker.com.
On install and during updates, Giant ad blocker contacts giantadblocker.com for registration, filter updates, and dynamic network-blocking rules. Those updates can control bundled ad-blocking scriptlets on matching sites, including page element changes, request blocking, and cookie or storage changes; the reviewed claim did not find code forwarding page contents, cookies, request bodies, or credentials.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

Where it sends data
