Is Social media Ad finder safe?
Social media Ad finder relays Facebook ad data to fbadcollector.adspyder.io, and any website can trigger that relay, not just Facebook.
The extension injects a script into facebook.com that reads ads from the Facebook Ads Library page and sends them to the extension's background script, which forwards the ad data plus a persistent per-install user ID to fbadcollector.adspyder.io. Because the extension's externally_connectable setting isn't restricted to facebook.com and the background script never checks who sent the message, any website can send the same internal message and have the extension relay its own attacker-supplied data (along with that user ID) to the vendor's server.
