Is Lock Adblock safe?
Lock Adblock injects a hidden iframe pointing to loader.media into every page visited, starting four hours after installation.
The extension masquerades as uBlock Origin Lite but includes a background script that records the install timestamp and relays it to a content script running on all pages. Once four hours have elapsed, the content script appends a hidden, sandboxed iframe loading content from loader.media/loader to every page the user visits. The iframe is granted the allow-top-navigation sandbox flag, which permits the remotely loaded content to navigate the top-level browser window to any URL.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Lock Adblock 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.
