Lately, we have seen a lot of cyber crooks using Google webstore as their attack vector and recently we have seen that they have removed at least 49 fake chrome extensions. Seen lots of threads here and senior members are suggesting to install an adblocker.

So what is an adblocker?

- Simply put, it prevents ads, malicious apps popping when you are browser the web. Usually these extensions work on the following browsers: Google Chrome, Apple Safari ), Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge.

Two well known ad blockers:

1. Adblock - https://getadblock.com/ - started in 2009, and it is one of the most well-known ad blockers so far.

2. uBlock or uBlock origin - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock - was first released in 2014 for Google Chrome only, but quickly expanded to include other browsers are well.

Installations are very easy, I have provided the official link above. So just like any beginners here, we need to learn. So if we wanted to prevent ourselves being trick by these spinless cyber crooks, our first defense is knowledge!!!
