Ho geez. I've been using fake adremover chrome extension for years...
So embarrassing 🤦‍♂️

It's not fake if it "seems to work" :p

What plugin was it anyway?

Which one?

@xewl @DevNullStdin this is actually serious. They collecting user inputs. I might got fired just by install a chrome extension on companyZ's machine. 😨 Btw I'm using the top one.

Ohh holy fucks!!! hope it does not get to that point mate

For reference this one seems to be for now the only one that's not a virus or is being paid by big ass company fuckers to ignore some of their adds.

@sunfishcc I've always used the original Adblock, and have seen some fakes.

The only sad thing is they've seem to have removed the "Hide my adblocker" one, it worked 70% of the time.

Sad to hear you fell for a scam, hope there's not too much data they scraped from ya.

@xewl according to this news. It seems modify jquery file which can be very scary 😕

@sunfishcc can you link me, because that I need to check out tomorrow for sure o.O'

@sunfishcc to be honest...I've found thehackernews to recently spew out more unrealistic shit than in their beginning days...

@DevNullStdin the company who uses our products got attacked frequently, but I'm sure it's has nothing to do with me. 😳
So I removed adremover silently 🙄

@xewl https://thehackernews.com/2018/04/...

@xewl I checked chome store. The pages of these extensions have been removed without explanation.

@sunfishcc oh shit, I knew AdBlock Pro and HD for YouTube were fake copies of the originals but not that they were scraping data.. thnx for the link..

Just use ublock-origin
Nothing else original ublock is fucked.

@D--M removed all non Google plugins from chrome. And only keep develop tools on chrome beta 😓 hope it's not too late

AdNauseam anyone?

@-vim- if it's no longer in chrome web store, it's a malicious extension. And I can't find your one now.🤔

@sunfishcc it isn’t malicious in any sense, it’s just that Google didn’t really like the fact that it smudges your ad profile. It’s available in developer mode and in the firefox store. Also, it isn’t blocked in other chromium based browsers

@-vim- Not really. "uBlock plus Adblocker" is still there.

Unlock origin !!!

That is why I don't use plugins in my browser.

Just use a DNS list, to block ads, pr0n, gambling sites etc.

The middle finger though 😂😂😂.
Awsome

@D--M uBlock still works fine with me and adblock plus is a no go imo as it runs it's own fucking ad network
