Is YouTube Adblocker safe?
YouTube Adblocker injects a hidden remote iframe from modal.style on every website after an eight-hour delay.
Its all-sites content script runs on every HTTP and HTTPS page, then after the post-install delay appends a hidden sandboxed iframe whose source resolves to modal.style/ini. That request can expose the current page context through normal browser request metadata such as URL/referrer and IP address; the same content script also accepts page messages that can return frame URLs or add DOM elements.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed YouTube Adblocker 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.
