Just an FYI. Source: Naked Security by Sophos Ad blocker firms rush to fix security bug by Danny Bradbury
I'll point back to the article. It listed the impacted ad blockers. So if it isn't on the list I'd assume it's... not impacted. Just wanted to give people the info. Personally, I've used a multi-layered approach for years. None of what I use is known to be impacted. uBlock Orgin is one of the things I use. PS: This is merely a thread about ad blockers and a discovered vulnerability. No need for people to get irritated or argumentative.
forgive me, i looked up in google an found their website was refering customers to adblock plus, looked around a bit more and found their beta page
Malwarebytes leaves the wording a bit vague but ad blocking is mentioned with respect to their browser extension. This is boiling down to semantics. Can we just agree that everyone is right and move on already?
Almost. I find it amusing that people that have never tried it (or even heard of it), know more about it than someone who is using it. I think it is as good, if not better, than Adblock Plus. I have tried both.
I wasn't really trying to argue, ya know. I do use it, and I have never seen it block anything outside of malicious ads. Perhaps this is a setting that I have never known about. I will have to have a look.
Malwarebytes adware (adwcleaner) is not the same thing as Malwarebytes ad blocker browser extension. With Adblock Plus, there were sites I had to add filters to stop all the ads. With MB, I did not have to do that.
