Is XB, block all ads safe?
XB block all ads sends the current tab URL and browser details to AdGuard when users submit a website report.
When a user clicks "Report a website" from the popup or context menu, the extension forwards the current page URL, browser name, extension version, and active filter IDs to link.adtidy.org. This is an explicitly user-initiated action and no data is sent automatically during normal browsing. The extension is an experimental MV3 ad blocker built on AdGuard's filtering engine.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed XB 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.
- link.adtidy.org
XB sends data to link.adtidy.org. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
