About this extension
The Scout web extension checks each website visited by the user to provide a safe, streamlined, and ad-free experience. Using its various modules, the extension can perform a quick site check to inspect elements such as cookies and data saving systems to ensure it is indeed safe for the user. Next, the extension will remove any ads that might appear on the page. The extension also actively checks clicked elements to ensure that any redirects are blocked. Finally, we check downloaded files to ensure that 1. These files are indeed the ones the user wants to install and. All of these functions work together to ensure the user's safety while browsing.
