    Nano adblock defender, tracking you now being monetized, remove them


    Time to remove Nano Adblocker and Defender from your browsers (except Firefox) - gHacks Tech News

    I never used them.

    The new owners uploaded a new version to the Chrome store, and careful analysis of the code of the extension revealed that it contained a new connect.js file that did not come from the project's GitHub page.
    Hill provided an analysis of the code and discovered that the new code allowed the developers to submit user activity and data to remote servers.

    The extension is now designed to lookup specific information from your outgoing network requests according to an externally configurable heuristics and send it to https://def.dev-nano.com/.


    Hill suggested that users uninstall Nano Defender / Nano Adblocker immediately to block data from being submitted to the new owners.

    Not advocating to install, advocating to uninstall it. Not sure rule 12 application applies in this instance, i view it as a safety privacy issue.
