by Maleficient, pirms 3 gadiemBe careful, read the terms of use, read the contract since it is a private company, so there is a service contract.
The contract indicates that private enterprise retrieves some of your data and resells the analysis of the data, or the behavior of Internet users.
If you look at the origin of this private enterprise, it is registered in the New York State Trade Register as an advertising company.
It is an advertising company that fights against its competition to dominate the market alone.
How is it that it is recommended, would there be no jurist at The Mozilla Foundation to read the contracts or check the registers of commerce ?
New York Trade Registry, see its true original name before Evidon.
Put Evidon, and its original name was : Adsafe (The Better Advertising Project).
** NYS DEPARTMENT OF STATE - Division of Corporations - Entity Information **

For a while, it is recommended, even partnership, with something regarded as a sect in some European countries :
- The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints
It was even recommended by multinationals !
- Unilever
- Nike
- Toyota
- Lenovo
- Johnson at Family Compagny
- JP Morgan Chase (subprime crisis - planetary bankruptcy, etc.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Noah Machemer, pirms 20 dienāmI have been using this service for a long time, and it never fails to disappoint me. All the annoying ads are blocked, and I no longer have to worry about my information being distributed. The user interface is so user-friendly, and the stats just amaze me. This is a great extension for all those out there that care about their safety online.

- Rated 2 out of 5by dada.org, pirms 22 dienāmappears to be working just fine in most sites ... but fails to perform correctly on YouTube ... i guess that's YT's thing though, as lately, it's been bypassing the good old AdBlocker's ad blocking filters just as well ... besides, apparently, AdBlocker is also in cahoots with YT now, thus allowing some 'harmless' ads be played ... and that's a bummer! (Google owns YT as we all know ... maybe G's to blame?!)

The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues
