Pro Tip: Rogue Browser Extensions - AdBlock vs AdBlock Plus (Chrome) - QuickDrag (Firefox)
AdBlock Plus. Plus what? Plus some fucking ads. |
AdBlock. No ads. |
Use AdBlock from "chromeadblock.com" (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom).
Adblock Plus from "adblockplus.org" (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb) is rogueware/malware. See this: https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads
Speaking of rogue extensions, shame on Mozilla for condoning 91, 000 people using QuickDrag (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/quickdrag/) which was silently updated to include spyware/adware/malware.
These developers turned malware writers who exploit the popularity of their extension to push spyware/adware/malware are much worse and inflict more damage than the actual spyware/adware/malware writers.
Main AdBlock Plus developer is Wladimir Palant.
