The toolbar hasn't been showing up for quite some time now, what happened? I find it very useful.

WinDefender just caught the trojan. idk what its about because isnt a trojan normally from hardware such as a usb hense "trojan"? some clarification would be great but also is it just part of the extension? probably not tho because windef caught it. but this is a interesting topic so let me know.

@m1-c2: Hello, this is the developer of the addon. We do NOT have any adware/malware inside the extension. There have been no updates since the initial publish date of Last update
Aug. 28, 2020 and the only feature this extension has = adblock + allows you to replay your favorite youtube videos.Let me check and see why WinDefender is flagging this extension.

@blacksay: If you're worried, just uninstall the extension for now. I'm trying to get Microsoft to review this extension and remove the malware flag because its a false positive.

Hiii, the extension was working nice and steady but like 3 hours ago windows defender detected a virus on it, specifically a bitcoin miner thing, and now it does that everytime i try to install it

@spike-spk: The extension hasnt been updated for 1 year+, I'm in the process of contacting Microsoft to review this software again to get the false positive flag removed.

@blacksay: Could you upload a screenshot of the false positive flag? I checked it on virustotal.com and the only flag I get is from https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/037ffbd101eb4690136ecd3abdd7346af59935c6b0c1beeb8b259107dcc04296?nocache=1 Ad-Aware , and Not Windows Defender

@free-simple-apps I'm wondering ... there is another extension with almost the same name (Adblocker for Youtube xideos) here which people are reporting as malicious. Ask posters to make sure which of the two they have.

Seems to be working OK, including playing nice with Opera's built in ad blocker.

@passenger-chi Don't use opera's built-in ad blocker. Like many ad blockers, certain companies pay Opera to whitelist their ads, as well as it slows down your browser a ton while collecting your data to then sell to more third parties. Don't use opera's built-in shitware ad blocker. the only reason to use opera is the extensions and (if it will even work for you anymore) The Flow. take advantage of the huge selection of extensions available to you.
