Resources Mode (ID: 000000f960be64bc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/21/2023 TERRIBLE extension. BLOCKS legitimate websites when you try to sign up for their newsletter. Blocks Youtube videos. Slows your browser down.

ogredale (ID: 00000062037f16f9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 Haven't had any issues, though I only use it for the malware and phishing protection. My browser has a built in adblocker that is more customizable, which I much prefer. Overall, my experience with Avira has been great!

Hebenézer Martins Mesquita (ID: 000000c62a196a93) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/08/2023 A página de resultados de pesquisas do Google mostra caracteres corrompidos. Quando desabilitei a extensão e dei um refresh na página os erros sumiram. Reabilitei a extensão no Chrome novamente e mais um F5 e o erro voltou. Chrome Versão 116.0.5845.180 (Versão oficial) 64 bits

J J (ID: 000000dde7a51409) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 At first I thought it performed well, and it did, however, I noticed it is powered by Adguard whose own Adguard extension takes lots of memory and CPU and this isn't customizable with adding filters. UBO Lite and Privacy Badger work best together and take less memory/CPU use.
