User reviews
These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews.
Edge Add-on Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate,
spammy, or outdated. Pros
- Some users mention that a similarly named service, potentially ilink网络加速器, unblocks and accelerates websites such as Google and YouTube.
- One review suggests a site (5c5810fd.weaksharedptr.com) offering permanent free traffic for a service that includes unlocking streaming services and has multiple fast and stable nodes.
Cons
- Several users warn this is a fake or deceptive version of uBlock Origin.
- Some state that it has a shady appearance and similar logo to mislead users.
- One reviewer mentions the extension has minimal functionality, showing only a switch without statistics or options, offering a worse experience than the Firefox version.
- Concerns are raised about privacy and security, as the extension may push surveys and remotely read tab information.
Most mentioned
- The majority of reviews suggest users are actually reviewing another service/extension, possibly 'ilink网络加速器', rather than uBlock.
- Several users recommend uBlock Origin over this uBlock extension, implying confusion or misunderstanding.
- Repeated concerns about deceptive practices and being a fake version of a trusted add-on.

Shady lookalike of the "uBlock Origin" extension (use that instead).
This extension can push you surveys and remotely read all your tab info (see the JavaScript source code in `src/background/survey.js` and `src/api/api.js`)
